January 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1894 - Boston Beaneaters catcher Charlie Bennett loses both legs in a horrific train accident. In 1900, the Detroit Wolverines, Bennett's first team, will name its ballpark Bennett Park in his honor.

1908 - The Detroit Tigers name Frank Navin president of the team. The Tigers' home ballpark, Bennett Park, will be re-named "Navin Field", which will later become Tiger Stadium.

1980 - Al Kaline and Duke Snider are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Kaline is the 10th player to be elected in his first year of eligibility, while Snider is making his 11th appearance on the ballot.

1990: A spring training lockout of major league players will begin February 15th unless there is a new agreement, according to an announcement made by the owners. The work stoppage will last 32 days.

2009 - Fu-Te Ni, a member of Taiwan's club in the 2008 Olympics and the 2008 CPBL leader in strikeouts, makes history. Ni becomes the first Chinese Professional Baseball League player to sign a deal directly with a major league team, inking a contract with the Detroit Tigers.
