July 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - Detroit pounds out a 14 - 6 victory over Cleveland as Ty Cobb, hitting in his 40th straight game, has three hits and three runs.
Cobb collects 80 hits and bats .476 during his streak, which started on May 15.

1956 - NBC pays $16.25 million for the Television and radio rights to the All-Star Game and the World Series. The players' pension fund will get 60 percent of the revenues.

1970: Detroit's Joe Niekro no-hits the Yankees until Horace Clarke singles in the 9th inning. The Tigers win, 5 - 0. This is the third time in the month that Clarke has broken up a no-hitter, having spoiled bids by Kansas City's Jim Rooker (June 4th) and Boston's Sonny Siebert (June 19th).

1973 Detroit signs amateur free agent and former inmate Ron LeFlore.

2002 - The Tigers and White Sox tie their own major league redord by hitting a combined 12 homers. Each team slugs six homers, with Robert Fick, Dmitri Young (2), Damion Easley, George Lombard, and Wendell Magee going deep for Detroit in Chicago?s Comiskey Park. The White Sox come out on top in the slugfest, 17-9.
