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

November 21 in Tigers and mlb history:

1889 - The National League issues its reply to the Players League manifesto. Claiming that the League saved baseball in 1876 and that under the reserve rules players' salaries have "more than trebled," the NL denounces the Brotherhood movement as "the efforts of certain overpaid players to again control [baseball] for their own aggrandizement. . . to its ultimate dishonor and disintegration."

1893 - Ban Johnson is named president, secretary, and treasurer of the recently reorganized Western League. Under Johnson's leadership the league will prosper and eventually become the American League.


1960 - Bob Scheffing signs to manage the Detroit Tigers after the job is turned down by Casey Stengel.

2000: Citing statistics to a U.S. Senate panel, Commissioner Bud Selig states it is time for "sweeping changes" in the game's economic make-up, raising the possibility of a work stoppage after the current contract expires on October 31, 2001.

2011: The Tigers' Justin Verlander adds the American League Most Valuable Player Award to the Cy Young Award he won a week ago after a dominating season in which he led Detroit to the AL Central title. He is the first pitcher to win the award in the AL since reliever Dennis Eckersley in 1992, and the first starting pitcher to do so since Roger Clemens in 1986*. Verlander secures 13 of 28 first-place votes to finish ahead of Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury, Toronto's Jose Bautista and New York's Curtis Granderson in a bunched-up vote.
