January 3 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - At Laughery club house, near Rising Sun, IN, the National Commission adopts a rule that bars World Series winners from playing post-season exhibition games. This obscure rule will lead to a direct confrontation between Babe Ruth and Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis in 1921.

1920 - The secret deal made on December 26th to sell Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 (twice the amount ever paid previously for a player) is announced publicly. Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee also secures a $350,000 loan from the Yankees as part of the deal.

1946 - The Boston Red Sox get Rudy York from the Detroit Tigers in a trade for Eddie Lake.

1955 - The Baltimore Orioles purchase veteran outfielder Hoot Evers from the Tigers.
