January 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1952 - Detroit Tigers owner Walter Briggs dies at the age of 74. His son will succeed him in the presidency.

1970: The Sporting News names San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays as its "Player of the Decade" for the 1960s. Mays beats out the likes of Hank Aaron in the voting.

1970: Major league teams select a record 357 players in the January phase of the annual free agent draft, including top pick Chris Chambliss, by Cleveland, and Chris Speier. Fred Lynn, drafted by the Yankees in the first round, will not sign.

2008 - Major League Baseball owners unanimously vote to extend commissioner Bud Selig's contract through the 2012 season. The contract extension will make Selig baseball's second-longest-serving commissioner, behind only Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The vote comes in a week when Selig has been criticized by the U.S. Congress for not cracking down hard enough on steroids.

2012: One year ago today, Bad news for the Tigers as they learn that DH/C Victor Martinez suffered a torn ACL during off-season training and is likely lost for the season.
