The 1921 Detroit Tigers season was their second in the league. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 2-3-3 (when the team was still known as the Heralds), winning only one game.[1][2]

The team folded after the November 13 game and most of its players were allocated to the Buffalo All-Americans for the rest of the year.
