July 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1902: The Detroit Tigers signed Erve Beck as a free agent.

1908: In another classic match-up, Three-Finger Brown and Christy Mathewson pair off with Brown winning, 1 - 0. The Cubs pitcher allows 6 hits, with Matty giving up 7. The only run comes on a 5th-inning inside-the-park home run by Matty's nemesis, Joe Tinker, who runs through the arms of third base coach Heinie Zimmerman to score. In the 12 match-ups between the two pitchers, Brown has won eight. A tragic occurrence happens during Tinker's home run dash when a boy, standing on the roof of a nearby building to view the game, falls 50 feet to his death.

1908: It is Honus Wagner Day in Pittsburgh, as players from both teams line up to pay homage. Wagner's tribute was originally scheduled for the 16th, but Honus asked that it be moved a day so it does not conflict with the annual benefit picnic for orphans. Wagner is presented with a $700 gold watch. Pittsburgh beats Boston, 4 - 0.

1922: At Boston, Ty Cobb gets five hits (and a walk) in a game for the 4th time this year, setting an American League mark. His previous 5-hit contests were on May 7th, July 7th, and July 12th. Only Willie Keeler has done it before. The Tigers roar, 16 - 7. overcoming a 5 - 0 deficit after one inning.

1934: Babe Ruth draws his 2,000th base on balls at Cleveland. He will retire with a walk record of 2,062. Rickey Henderson will break the record.

1941: In front of more than 60,000 fans at Cleveland, Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak is ended at 56 games. Indians P Al Smith and Jim Bagby Jr., plus sensational plays by 3B Ken Keltner, stop the Yankee Clipper, but New York edges the Indians, 6 - 5.

1942: The Detroit Tigers purchased Jack Wilson from the Washington Senators.

1947: Less than two weeks after Larry Doby's debut with the Indians, Hank Thompson and Willard Brown become the second and third black players in the American League and first for the Browns. The former Kansas City Monarchs standouts will play in less than 30 games for St. Louis because their presence does not significantly raise attendance.

1954: With Jim Gilliam (2B), Jackie Robinson (3B), Sandy Amoros (LF), Roy Campanella (C) and Don Newcombe (P) in the starting lineup against the Braves, the Dodgers field the first team which consists of a majority of black players. The historic five helps Brooklyn beat Milwaukee at County Stadium, 2 - 1.

1955: Earl Torgeson of the Tigers steals home in the 10th to beat the Yankees 6 - 5.

1960: Frank Lary gets win as Tigers beat Yankees 12-2. Lary the "Yankee Killer": 27-10 mark vs NY 1955-61. Al Kaline draws four walks in four plate appearances.

1976: Walter Alston wins his 2,000th game as Dodger manager.

1989: The Detroit Tigers traded Bill Bean to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Steve Green (minors) and Domingo Michel (minors).

2000: The Detroit Tigers traded Gabe Alvarez to the San Diego Padres for Dusty Allen.

2006: The Detroit Tigers signed Brian Boehringer as a free agent.

Tigers must keep Fulmer, try to deal JV.
Detnews

With Michael Fulmer receiving lots of interest, MLive.com?s Evan Woodbery wonders if the Tigers could package the young starter with one of the team?s unappetizing big contracts (Woodbery uses Jordan Zimmermann as an example) in order to both get some salary off the books and gain some good prospects. ?Maybe a team with space under the luxury tax threshold would simply see it as an acquisition cost for getting Fulmer,? Woodbery writes. In my opinion, I doubt the Tigers would be willing to move Fulmer unless they were ready to go into a total rebuild, as the right-hander is so hugely valuable given his talent and controllability. As Woodbery notes, it can?t hurt for Tigers GM Al Avila to explore all possibilities, though finding a team with both the means and willingness to both absorb money and surrender a big prospect haul will be extremely difficult.
