The by|1984 American League Championship Series matched the Eastern Division champion Detroit Tigers against the Western Division champion Kansas City Royals. The Tigers prevailed three games to none, to advance to the 1984 World Series against the San Diego Padres.

(Note: Due to a strike by major league umpires, the series was played using local and collegiate umpires, with former AL umpire and league supervisor Deegan working home plate for all three games.)

Background

The 1984 American League Championship Series would prove to be no contest for the Detroit Tigers. It wasn't that surprising given the fact the Kansas City Royals won 20 fewer games during the season and had won the AL West by a mere three games over both the California Angels and Minnesota Twins.
