I might have posted this awhile ago; but the author of the book just started to follow me on twitter and I thought a perfect time to post his HankGreenberg.net with several links within.

May 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1902 - George Mullin, a 5 time 20 game winning good Tigers pitcher, makes his big league debut.

1922 - Hall of Fame Tigers outfielder Harry Heilmann smacks his only career walk-off homer. It?s a doozy, too. With the Tigers trailing the Browns 5-3 and two on, he hits a three-run shot off Elam Vangilder.

1928 Ty Cobb becomes the second member of the 700-double club, joining Tris Speaker. All these years later only two have joined them: Stan Musial and Pete Rose.

1939 - In his first-ever at-bat in the city of Detroit, Boston Red Sox rookieTed Williams becomes the first player to hit a home run which totally clears the right field seats at Briggs Stadium.

1943 - National League President Ford C. Frick demonstrates that the revised balata ball is livelier than the previous year's ball by bouncing it on a carpet in his office. The major leagues have turned to the balata ball because of wartime restrictions on the supplies used to make standard baseballs.

2010 - Ernie Harwell, one of the greatest broadcasters in baseball history, dies at the age of 92 after a year-long bout with cancer. He was the radio and television voice of the Detroit Tigers for 42 years, retiring from the booth in 2002. He received the Ford Frick Award in 1981 and was a member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame.
