December 18 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903 - At the league meeting, Ban Johnson is reelected American League president and given a raise to $10,000.
Also, the AL votes to allow coaches at third base and first base at all times: till now, only one coach was permitted except if there were two or more baserunners.
The AL also institutes the "foul strike" rule, used by the National League since 1901: a foul will be counted as a strike unless there are already two strikes.

1920 - On his 34th birthday, Ty Cobb signs to manage the Tigers for $32,500.

December 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1928 - Senators player-manager Bucky Harris is traded to the Tigers for infielder Jack Warner. The future Hall of Famer will replace George Moriarty (68-86, 6th place) as the Motor City skipper.

1983: The Tigers sign free agent slugger Darrell Evans, who hit .277 with 30 home runs for the Giants last season.

1986: After finding no other clubs interested in signing him, free agent pitcher and 20-game winner Jack Morris agrees to salary arbitration with the Tigers while at the same time accusing the major league owners of collusion against free agents.
Morris had offered to sign a one-year contract, with salary to be determined by an arbitrator, with either the Yankees, Angels, Twins, or Phillies, but was turned down by all four.

2003 Detroit signs veteran free agents Rondell White and Fernando Vina.
