December 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1899 - The fledging American League owners meet to map a strategy against the established National League. They agree to place a team in Chicago with Charles Comiskey as the owner-manager of the franchise.

1915 - Organized Baseball and the Federal League sign a peace treaty at Cincinnati, ending their two-year war. The FL agrees to go out of existence, but the Major Leagues pay an enormous price: $600,000 for distribution to FL owners; amalgamation of two FL franchises, one each into National League and American League; recognition of FL players' eligibility, and agreement to bid for them in a Fed-controlled auction.
The owners of the Baltimore Terrapins, hoping to get the Cardinals, balk, but conferees, eager for settlement, defer their claims - a decision they will repent at leisure when the Baltimore owners take their grievance all the way to the Supreme Court.

1926 Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker both deny they conspired to fix a baseball game several years ago.

1994 Cincinnati signs free agent Jack Morris. He never throws a pitch for the Reds.

1994 Negotiations between the players? union and baseball owners break down with no progress. The strike goes on.

2005 Detroit signs free agent reliever Todd Jones, who returns to the team he?d first been a closer for.
