April 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1942 - Major league owners decide not to allow furloughed players in the military to play for their clubs if based near a game site.

1962 - The Detroit Tigers sign University of Detroit basketball star Dave DeBusschere. He will pitch effectively in 1962 and 1963 with the Chicago White Sox, but will gain much more notoriety as a key member of the New York Knicks' NBA championship teams of 1970 and 1973.

1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch, whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.

Ian Kinsler, Tigers:
PECOTA thinks that Kinsler will score 73 runs, good for 75th in baseball. I hate going toe to toe with PECOTA, but I will in this case. Kinsler has scored an average of 99 runs a season over the past seven year, scoring triple digit runs five of the seven seasons. Additionally, Kinsler bats immediately in front of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, J.D. Martinez, and Yoenis Cespedes.
