Tigers, Gardenhire finalize 3-year deal

Ex-Twins skipper's experience set him apart from other candidates



DETROIT -- Ron Gardenhire tormented the Tigers for years while he managed the

Twins through a golden era of success. Yet he and then-Tigers manager Jim

Leyland formed a close friendship through the rivalry, built on mutual

respect.

"Tampering was one of his favorite things to do," Gardenhire joked Friday,
"and he told me, 'When I leave, I want you to manage here."

It took a few years and some twists and turns, but on Friday, Gardenhire put

on the Old English D, becoming the 38th manager in the Tigers' history.

It's a different team than the one Leyland led to division titles, and

different than the one Brad Ausmus inherited four years ago. It's now

Gardenhire's job to help build the team back to that level.


"We place an importance on hiring a manager that possesses a great deal of

experience, and Ron clearly qualifies for this," Tigers general manager Al

Avila said Friday at a news conference. "After managing against us for 14

seasons, it's going to be nice to have him on our side of the dugout and run

our clubhouse and run our games."

In the process, Gardenhire will be helping lead the Tigers through their own

transition from a club built around veteran stars and free agents to a team

based around homegrown talent -- in other words, more like the Twins teams

he managed from 2000-14.


"I've been through it," Gardenhire said. "I think that's the greatest part of

the game -- being able to teach. Whether it's start over and just add on, the

game's a constant change. Everybody changes.

"It's a challenge, and if you don't like challenges, you probably shouldn't

be in baseball."
