In the wee hours of the morning on Sunday, Oct. 20, the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the American League Championship Series. Moments after the game, manager Jim Leyland told his team that he was stepping down.

A day later, on Monday, Leyland told the rest of us the same thing.

The search for his successor began immediately.
