Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast 135: Cespedes Family BBQ.

Episode 135 of the podcast, airing live on Saturday, January 10 at 10:00 a.m. EST. I'll be sitting down (well, virtually anyway) with Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman, the creators of the popular web site and Twitter account known as "Cespedes Family BBQ."

We're going to talk about Yoenis Cespedes and his upcoming transition to Detroit, and we'll also chat a bit about Barry Bonds, steroids, and the most recent Hall of Fame vote. Rumor has it we'll even talk a little bit about Backyard Baseball.

After that? Well, if you know anything about Cespedes Family BBQ, then you know just about anything can happen. We might even trade actual BBQ recipes.

January 11 in Tigers and mlb history:

1958 - US Representatives Kenneth Keating and Patrick Hillings drop their plan to bring baseball under the nation's antitrust laws.

1971 - 27-year-old Detroit Tigers reliever John Hiller suffers chest pains that doctors will later diagnose as a heart attack. Hiller will miss the entire 1971 season but will make an incredible comeback in 1973, saving a then major league record 38 games.

1973: Major League owners approve one of the game's most controversial rules: the designated hitter. The owners decide to allow American League teams to implement the rule on an experimental three-year basis, but the rule will become a permanent addition to the AL while the National League never adopts it.

1993 - The Rev. Jesse Jackson tells baseball owners that unless a plan to hire more minorities for front-office jobs is in place by April 5th, he will call for selective boycotts.

2003 Detroit trades Mark Redman to Florida for Nate Robertson in a deal involving five players in all.

Several current managers already on the Hall of Fame track.
from cbssports

Although he is no longer managing, ex-Pirates, Marlins, Rockies and Tigers manager Jim Leyland deserves a mention. He retired last year with 1,769 wins (15th all-time), three Manager of the Year awards (1990, 1992, 2006) and one World Series title (1997). Leyland has a very strong case for Cooperstown.
