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

Justin Verlander underwent successful core muscle repair surgery this morning.
Verlander is expected to require six weeks of rehabilitation. The Tigers "fully anticipate" he'll be able to participate in spring training.

Dombrowski: ?We fully anticipate Justin to participate in spring training and be in a position to compete at the beginning of the 2014 season?.

January 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903: At Cincinnati peace talks, the National League proposes a consolidated 12-team league, which the American League rejects. An agreement is reached to coexist peacefully if the AL promises to stay out of Pittsburgh, PA.
In the awarding of disputed contracts, the most hotly-contested case is that of Sam Crawford, a Reds outfielder who batted .333 and led the NL with 23 triples in 1902. Signed for 1903 by both the Tigers and the Reds, Crawford is awarded to the Tigers, having signed with them first. He will lead the AL in triples this year with 25.

1918: Acknowledging that Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins are all good ballplayers, Cap Anson picks his all-time team, leaving them off. In the current issue of The Sporting News, Anson selects catchers Buck Ewing and King Kelly; pitchers Amos Rusie, John Clarkson and Jim McCormick; as first baseman, himself; second baseman Fred Pfeffer; third baseman Ned Williamson; shortstop Ross Barnes, and outfielders Bill Lange, George Gore, Jimmy Ryan and Hugh Duffy.

1938: Before a gathering of writers, players and executives in Baltimore, Jimmie Foxx, Chuck Klein and Charlie Keller, representing the American League, National League and International League respectively, try out the balls to be used in the new season. The Sporting News reports that "... regarding the dead ball, as adopted by the National League, and the lively ball, as retained by the American and International Leagues... the NL ball has a distinctly 'dead' sound coming off the bat, compared to the livelier AL ball."

1957 - Commissioner Ford Frick rules that singer Bing Crosby can keep his token stock in the Detroit Tigers, even though he owns part of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

1983 - A preliminary injunction is issued by New York Supreme Court barring the Yankees from playing their opening games against the Tigers in Denver, Colorado. The Yankees sought to move games fearing renovations to Yankee Stadium will not be completed on time.

1995 - Arbitrator Thomas Roberts awards 11 players a total of almost $10 million as a result of collusion charges brought against the owners.

2001: In an effort to authenticate autographed and game-used merchandise sold by its licensees, Major League Baseball hires Arthur Andersen, an accounting company, to assure the authenticity of approximately 40,000 items this season. The memorabilia will have a tamper-proof hologram and an ID number with a company official observing the removal of the item being physically taken from the player or event.

2002: Commissioner Bud Selig asks the players to accept a luxury tax that would slow the increase of salaries. Selig also proposes that teams vastly increase the amount of local revenue they share.
