DETROIT -- It is impossible to remember the heartache of the 2025 ALCS without also reliving the euphoria of the ALDS that preceded it. Five games -- two of them extra-inning affairs -- spread across one glorious fall week that culminated in a quake-making winner-take-all standoff. And then, after nearly
