Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

June 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: The Detroit Tigers Baseball Club buys the rest of the vacant Bennett Field grounds as the site for a new ball park.

1912: Ty Cobb gets pinch hit for in an unusual scenario. With two outs in the 9th, and the Tigers down 11 - 3, Cobb is nowhere to be found, and George Mullin substitutes and flies out to end the game. It turns out Cobb is in the clubhouse showering.

1916: The St. Louis Browns selected Earl Hamilton off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

1928: Journeyman hurler Hank Johnson of the Yankees blanks the star-studded Athletics, 4 - 0.
In the game for Connie Mack's team are Ty Cobb, Mickey Cochrane, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker and Lefty Grove.

1929: The Chicago White Sox purchased Frank Sigafoos from the Detroit Tigers.

1930: Babe Ruth ties a major league record by hitting five homers in two games and six homers in three games. The Yankee outfielder hit three homers in the second game of the doubleheader yesterday, two homers in today's opener and one more in the nightcap.

1934: Detroit takes over first place, beating Washington, 11 - 3, dislodging the Yankees who lose, 4 - 1, to Cleveland.

1962: Stan Musial becomes the all-time total bases leader passing Ty Cobb, by raising his total to 5,864, in the first game against the Phillies.

1973: The Detroit Tigers selected Bob Miller off waivers from the San Diego Padres.

1977: The Detroit Tigers released Luis Alvarado.

1983: The St. Louis Cardinals traded Doug Bair to the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later. The Detroit Tigers sent Dave Rucker (July 5, 1983) to the St. Louis Cardinals to complete the trade.

1987: The Seattle Mariners traded Karl Best to the Detroit Tigers for Bryan Kelly.

1988: The Detroit Tigers signed Ivan de Jesus as a free agent.

2009: Donald Fehr announces his retirement as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association after 25 years. He was in charge during the 1994 strike and the relative labor peace that followed. His resignation will be effective in March 2010, when the union's general counsel, Michael Weiner, takes over.

2013: Max Scherzer improves his record to 11-0 with a 10 - 3 Tigers win over the Red Sox. Roger Clemens, in 1997, was the last pitcher to reach that mark.
