MLB Franchise Player Draft Preview.
If you were starting an MLB franchise, who would be your franchise player? Jim Bowden and Jayson Stark preview this year's MLB franchise player draft.

If you were starting a franchise and you could pick any player in professional baseball, who would be your franchise player? That's the question we asked 30 of our resident baseball "experts," who will participate in ESPN's third annual Franchise Player Draft on Tuesday.

With the annual first-year player draft only three days away, several of our experts will discuss and debate baseball's "franchise players" during our live chat from 12-3 p.m. ET. The draft order was randomly selected, and the picks will be unveiled every five minutes.

Fans can use the Twitter hashtag #franchisedraft to join the discussion or follow along. Find out who will get picked and who will get snubbed!
 
June 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906: Bill Coughlin is the second Tiger within a month to steal second base? third base? and home in a game; he does this in the 7th inning against Washington during a 13 - 4 romp. Pitcher Bill Donovan did it on May 7th. Washington ties the game at 4 apiece? but the Tigers score 9 in the last 2 innings to win. Charley O'Leary has a homer for Detroit.

1915: Ty Cobb steals home in the 9th inning of 3 - 0 Detroit win? the only steal of home that late in a game in his career. Yankee pitcher Ray Caldwell is so angry at the safe call he throws his mitt in the air and is promptly ejected by umpire Silk O'Loughlin. It is Cobb's second steal of home while Caldwell is on the mound (the first was on May 12th? 1911).

1936: The Tigers score 10 runs in the 3rd and 6 in the 5th en route to a 18 - 9 thrashing of the A's. Philadelphia scores 6 in the 9th but still comes up a bit short. Mickey Cochrane belts an inside-the-park grand slam in the 3rd and collapses after running it out and is replaced. Manager Cochrane will not be in the lineup as a player until July 15. Elden Auker goes the distance for Detroit and might have had a shutout except for 4 errors. The A's misplay 6.

1960 - Detroit's Chico Fernandez strokes a 10th-inning triple against Cleveland? and then swipes home for the final run in a 7 - 4 win. Rocky Colavito breaks out of his slump with a solo homer in the 4th and a 2-run shot in the 10th? off Dick Stigman.

1984: The Tigers break a 3 - 3 tie in the 10th when Dave Bergman golfs a three-run homer into the upper deck at Tiger Stadium. Bergman had fouled 7 pitches off Roy Lee Jackson before connecting. Howard Johnson has a three-run homer in the 7th to account for the other half of Detroit's scoring.
