The 1935 World Series featured the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs, with the Tigers winning in six games for their first championship in five Series appearances. They had lost the World Series in 1907, 1908, 1909, and 1934.

The Tigers won despite losing the services of first baseman Hank Greenberg. The Detroit Tigers' superstar broke his wrist during Game 2 and had to watch from the dugout. Marv Owen replaced him at first base and went 1 for 20.

Stan Hack led off the top of the 9th inning of Game 6 with a triple but was stranded. The Tigers then responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring the Series winner on a single by Goose Goslin.
