April 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1927 The Tigers begin broadcasting their home games on WWJ with Ty Tyson as announcer.

1937 Detroit purchases aging slugger Babe Herman from the Reds.

1945 - Future Hall of Famer Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox breaks his leg running the bases. The injury will influence him to retire as a major league player. Cronin will continue to serve the Red Sox as their manager.

1949 - The New York Yankees unveil a granite monument to Babe Ruth. Monument Park, located in the deep center field region of Yankee Stadium, also includes monuments for Lou Gehrig and Miller Huggins.

1960 The Tigers and Indians set a record for longest Opening Day ever?15 innings, with Detroit triumphing, 4-2.

1965 - At a cost of $20K, the original Astrodome ceiling is painted because the sun's glare makes fielding fly balls hazardous. This will cause the grass to die and spur the introduction of artificial turf next season.

1971 - Legendary broadcaster Russ Hodges dies from a heart attack in Mill Valley, California, at the age of 61. Hodges announced the Giants games in New York and San Francisco for 22 seasons, after working for four other teams. Hodges was best known for his famed "The Giants win the pennant!" call of Bobby Thomson's home run in 1951. Hodges will be the fourth recipient of the Ford Frick Award, posthumously, in 1980.

1984 - The Detroit Tigers suffer their first loss of the season after nine consecutive wins. The Tigers fall to the Kansas City Royals and rookie Bret Saberhagen, who earns his first major league victory.
