Detroit Tigers Team Notes

I heard that if Verlander wins his next start which is start 34 he will tie old time Tigers pitcher Wild Bill Donovan for most wins at 25 after that many starts by a pitcher all-time.

I've been looking for Verlander to slow down but he's pitching like he did in April. Knock on wood that his arm remains strong thru playoffs. His throwing motion is nice and easy, hopefully he doesnt wear down.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

September 19 in Tigers and mlb history :

1937: Tigers first baseman Hank Greenberg becomes the first player to hit a homer into the center field bleachers at Yankee Stadium. Detroit wins 8 - 1.

1968 - Denny McLain's 31st win is overshadowed by Mickey Mantle's 535th homer. McLain allegedly calls C Jim Price out and tells him to inform Mantle he's throwing the slugger nothing but fastballs. The home run gives Mantle undisputed hold of 3rd place on the all-time home run list. Mantle tips his cap to Denny as he rounds third base. Joe Pepitone, the next batter, signals where he would like the ball and McLain dusts him with a fastball up and in. The Tigers win the game 6 - 2 and it is the 12th straight complete game for the Tigers staff.

1980: At Tiger Stadium, Al Kaline becomes the first player in Tigers franchise history to have his uniform number retired. The first ballot Hall of Famer, who wore the number 6, played rightfield like he invented it for Detroit from 1953 to 1974.

2001: Major League Baseball and the Players Association announce the creation of the MLB-MLBPA Disaster Relief Fund. The organizations will each donate $10 million to aid the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

MONEY IN THE BANK
From Elias Sports: Justin Verlander got the Tigers back on track after their loss on Saturday by posting his 24th win of the season. Verlander is 16-3 this season in games that immediately followed a loss by his team. It's the most such wins in one season for any pitcher since Steve Carlton won 19 games following Phillies losses in 1972, when he went 27-10 for a 97-loss team.
