The last time the Tigers started 9-1, they won the World Series. That was 1984.

The previous time the Tigers started 9-1? They won the World Series. That was 1968.

Before that, you have to go all the way back to 1911, the days of Ty Cobb, for the Tigers' last 9-1 start.

That makes three 9-1 starts since World War I -- and two championships so far. We're not saying this year's team will win it all or anything, but how about that to get your blood pumping for the summer, Tigers fans?

Here's a quick look at how each of those 9-1 starts went for the Tigers:

1984

You probably know the story of the "Bless You Boys," but let's refresh your memory for old time's sake: This team actually started 9-0 before losing 5-2 to the Kansas City Royals.

That 9-1 start quickly became 16-1, all the way to 35-5, the best 40-game start to a season in MLB history.

The Tigers went on to finish 104-58, first place in the AL East. And they went 7-1 in the postseason, winning the World Series in five games over the San Diego Padres.

1968

The Tigers opened the 1968 season with a 7-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox before winning nine consecutive games.

Immediately after that 9-1 start, though, Detroit lost seven of the next 11 games.

Not to worry, though: The Tigers, led by aces Denny McLain and Mickey Lolich as well as Mr. Tiger Al Kaline, finished the season 103-59 and beat the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games in the World Series.

1911

Now we're really digging into some history.

The 1911 Tigers actually began the season 12-1 and, like the 2015 Tigers, the lone loss was in their 7th game, a 2-3 setback to the Chicago White Sox. They finished 89-65, second place in the American League.

Ty Cobb hit .420 with eight home runs and 127 RBIs that season. George Mullin went 18-10 with a 3.07 ERA.
