October 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909 - The Pittsburgh Pirates win the World Series as rookie pitcher Babe Adams registers his third victory of the Series by beating the Detroit Tigers, 8 - 0, in Game Seven

1910 - Ban Johnson, American League president, declares Tigers outfielder Ty Cobb the league's batting champion after questioning Nap Lajoie's "suspicious" eight-hit performance in a doubleheader against the St. Louis Browns on the season's last day.

1921 - In defiance of a Kenesaw Mountain Landis ban on World Series participants playing post-season exhibitions, Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill Piercy launch a barnstorming tour in Buffalo. Five days later, they cut it short in Scranton. In the meantime Ruth openly challenges Judge Landis to act. The judge does, fining the players their World Series shares ($3,362.26), and suspending them until May 20 of the following season. Judge Landis also outlaws gentleman's agreements and cover-ups of players optioned to the minors without proper paperwork. He declares six players free agents, including Heinie Manush, who will ride a 17-year career .330 batting average into the Hall of Fame in 1964.

1923 - Soon after Babe Ruth receives his World Series winner's share of $6,160.46, insurance agent Harry Heilmann, who beat Ruth for the batting title by 10 points, sells him a $50,000 life insurance policy. Beneficiaries are Mrs. Ruth and adopted daughter Dorothy.

2012: Detroit takes a 3 games to none lead in the ALCS behind another strong performance by ace Justin Verlander. Verlander gives up no runs through the first 8 innings before allowing a lead-off homer to Eduardo Nunez in the 9th, but needs relief help from Phil Coke, who gets the last two outs in a 2 - 1 win. Delmon Young homers off Philip Hughes for the Bengals' first run in the 4th, then Quintin Berry scores the second run on a double by Miguel Cabrera in the 5th.

The Tigers have fanned at least 11 batters in 4 straight games. The streak is the longest ever in a single postseason.

Analysis: Detroit Tigers must win Game 4 if they want to turn 'great' games into a great series.
from Mlive


The Red Sox have done almost nothing against Tigers starting pitchers so far in this series. The combined pitching line for Tigers starters through three games is amazing: 21IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 9BB, 35SO. Tigers starters have an 0.86 ERA through three games.
 
Overall in playoffs - 8G, Tigers starters have 2.03ERA, K'd 74 in 53IP, and allowed just 30H (.159) - 1R or none in 5GS, 2R in another...
