April 21 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910 - The new League Park opens in Cleveland, with a capacity of 21,000. 18,832 watch Detroit and Ed Willett beat the Naps, 5 - 0.

1912 - The New York Giants and New York Highlanders stage an exhibition game to benefit survivors of the RMS Titanic. The Giants win the game, 11 - 2.

2011: Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association come to an agreement on paying pensions for major league players active from 1947 to 1979 who failed to qualify for a pension at the time. Until 1979, players needed to have completed four full years of major league service to qualify for a pension, leaving hundreds short. Since 1980, pension benefits accrue from the first day a player spends in the majors. 904 players will receive benefits thanks to the agreement.
