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

March 24 in Tigers and mlb history:

1960 - Commissioner Ford Frick says he will not allow the planned Continental League to pool players in the Western Carolinas League, as it would violate existing major-minor league agreements.

1970 - Commissioner Bowie Kuhn orders a halt to the use of X-5 balls, which are much too lively for major league play.

1984 - The Detroit Tigers acquire relief pitcher Willie Hernandez and first baseman Dave Bergman from the Philadelphia Phillies for catcher John Wockenfuss and outfielder Glenn Wilson. Hernandez will win the American League MVP and Cy Young awards after saving 32 games with an 1.92 ERA and 140.1 innings in 80 pitching appearances. His brilliant pitching during the postseason will help Detroit to the World Championship.
