[kalinecountry]

October 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1923: Citing the unsavory characters associated with the sport, American League president Ban Johnson persuades AL owners to prohibit boxing matches in their parks. The National League declines to go along with it.

1928: The Detroit Tigers traded Al Wingo and cash to San Francisco (PCL) for Roy Johnson.

1932: The Baseball Writers Association of America MVP awards are announced, with Jimmie Foxx winning in the American League and Chuck Klein in the National League.

1945: Tiger ace Hal Newhouser is named American League Most Valuable Player for the second straight season. Newhouser won the pitching triple crown, going 25-9 with a 1.81 ERA and 212 strikeouts. He receives nine first place votes and easily outdistances Detroit teammate Eddie Mayo.

1949: The Chicago White Sox make one of the best trades in franchise history when they acquire future Hall of Fame second baseman Nellie Fox for backup catcher Joe Tipton. Fox will win the American League MVP in 1959.

1965: NBC wins a Major League Baseball television package, including prime-time All-Star Game and World Series games.

1976: The Boston Globe uses aerial photography to measure the exact distance of the left field wall at Fenway Park from home plate. The distance: 304.779 feet. Art Keefe and writer George Sullivan measured it this month at 309 feet, four inches.

1987: Controversial Billy Martin is named manager of the Yankees for a fifth time, replacing Lou Piniella, who replaced Martin and is moved to general manager. Piniella led the Yankees to an 89-73 record in 1987, fourth in the AL East.

2013: For the second time in the series, Boston uses a late-game grand slam to defeat the Tigers in the ALCS. Shane Victorino's 7th-inning blast over the Green Monster off Jose Veras is key to a 5 - 2 win that sends the Red Sox to the World Series. Koji Uehara picks up his third save in addition to a win to receive the series' MVP honors.

THE GREAT ANALYTICS RANKINGS
ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com unleashed our experts and an army of researchers to rate 122 teams on the strength of each franchise's analytics staff, its buy-in from execs and coaches, its investment in biometric data and how much its approach is predicated on analytics. After looking at the stats, reaching out to every team and dozens of informed sources and evaluating each front office, we ranked an overall top 10 and bottom 10 and placed each team in one of five tiers by sport.
