July 24 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905 Tigers workhorse George Mullin surrenders his first over-the-fence home run in two years and 15 days. He won’t give up another one since July 2, 1910.

1939 - The Detroit Tigers release oft-injured Dixie Walker. He signs with Brooklyn, with whom he will have his most productive year.

1961: At Kansas City, Detroit P Frank Lary collides with rookie 3B Steve Boros, and both players leave the game with injuries. Lary does not miss a start but Boros's collarbone is broken and he will not return. He has 53 RBIs to date.

1964 - Hank Aguirre gives up five runs on three homers to New York in the first four innings, but the Tigers overcome a 5 - 2 deficit to win 10 - 5. Late 2 run homers by Jerry Lumpe 2B, and "Mr. Everything" Al Kaline RF, his a deep blast to left center gets the win for the Tigers and relief pitcher Larry Sherry.

1983 - In the memorable "Pine Tar Game" at Yankee Stadium, George Brett hits an apparent 2-run home run off Rich Gossage to give the Kansas City Royals a 5 - 4 lead with two outs in the 9th inning, only to have the homer taken away when Yankees manager Billy Martin, at the urging of coach Don Zimmer, points out that the pine tar on Brett's bat handle exceeds the 17 inches allowed in the rules. As a result, Brett is called out for illegally batting the ball, giving New York a 4 - 3 victory. Brett goes ballistic and the Royals immediately protest. American League President Lee MacPhail overrules his umpires for the first time, saying that the umpire's call went against the spirit of the rule, which should be rewritten and clarified, and that the home run will stand. The game will be resumed from that point on August 18th.

1983 - Detroit’s star shortstop Alan Trammell has his only 5-for-5 day in the Tigers 4 - 3 win over the angels.

2001: The Yankees edge the Tigers 6 - 5, despite an 8th-inning moon shot by Detroit's Juan Encarnacion, off Ramiro Mendoza, that lands in the second row of the empty blue bleacher seats in left CF. It is believed to be the first ball hit into that area since Yankee Stadium was remodeled in 1976.

2002: The Tigers shut out the Royals 3 - 0, in one hour and 41 minutes - the fastest 9-inning game in the major leagues since 1984.

Tigers pitchers average 3.97 pitches per PA, Cardinals 3.75. That may not sound like a big difference, but it's 1400+ pitches so far.
 
I will be leaving for cigar night a short time before 5pm.
The game thread will be posted, however the Tigers and other sites are later in posting the Tigers lineup for these 8pm starts.
If I have to post the game thread without the lineup, will one of you guys who read here add when it is available? Spock/Turok/Thumb....thanks in advance.
 
Stat of the Day: The players suspended in 2012 for PEDs averaged 3.6 bWAR per full single season. In 2013, they're averaging 3.3.
