happy thanksgiving KC!

Thanks Tom, and to you and your family. I hope everyone had a great day with family and loved ones.

Thanksgiving is always a Special day, as always for me, to give thanks to be here and share it with my old mom, considering what she went through last year and is back to her old self.
This past summer, I had a scare...had minor surgery got it in time and back to whatever my 100% is at this stage of life. So I feel lucky, blessed, and of course relieved.

Brought dinner for both of us to the nursing home she resides at, and was able to watch some of the Lions game in the activities/dining room. A nice wide screen plasma. Lions looked good watching it after they were trailing 10 -3.

November 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910 - The Havana Reds beat the Detroit Tigers, 3 - 0, behind Chiche Gonzalez's 5-hitter. Ty Cobb goes 0 for 3 and is caught stealing by Bruce Petway. The story is later blown out of proportion to claim Cobb was caught 3 times, when in fact this is the only recorded steal attempt he had in five games in Cuba that winter.

1926 - Tris Speaker resigns as Indians manager. Stories of a thrown game and betting on games by Ty Cobb and Speaker gain momentum when Judge Landis holds a secret hearing with the two stars and former P-OF Joe Wood. The story and testimony will not be released until December 21.
Former Tiger P Dutch Leonard wrote to Harry Heilmann that he had turned over letters written to him by Wood and Cobb to American League president Ban Johnson, implicating the two in betting on a Tiger-Cleveland game played in Detroit, MI, on September 25, 1919. He charged that Cobb and Speaker conspired to let Detroit win to help them gain 3rd-place money.
At a secret meeting of AL directors, it was decided to let Cobb and Speaker resign with no publicity. But, as rumors spread, Judge Landis takes charge of the matter and holds the hearings, at which Leonard refuses to appear. Cobb and Wood admit to the letters, but say it was a horse racing bet, and contend Leonard is angry for having been released to the Pacific Coast League by Cobb. Speaker, not named in the letters, denies everything.
Public sympathy is with the stars, but the matter will remain unresolved until January of next year.

1939 - Judge Landis fines Brooklyn, Detroit, and the St. Louis farm club, Columbus, for manipulating player contracts. He frees seven farmhands.

1962: Major league officials and player representatives agree to return to a single All-Star Game in 1963. The players' pension fund will receive 95 percent of the one game's proceeds (rather than 60 percent of two games).

November 30 in Tigers and mlb history:

1953: The player reps reject Commissioner Ford Frick's plan for a conference on their pension after he bars their attorney's presence.

1972: The Detroit Tigers traded Jim Foor and Norm McRae to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Dick Sharon.

1999: Members of the Major League Umpires Association vote 57-35 to form a new union, with one vote voided because the umpire signed his ballot. The National Labor Relations Board will certify the election results in seven days, if there are no objections. But, Jerry Crawford, the president of the old union, says objections are likely to be filed.
