May 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912 - Due to his assault on Claude Luecker, a handicapped fan and a regular heckler, Ty Cobb is suspended. Although today's game is rained out, the Tigers meet in Philadelphia, voting to boycott future games if the "Georgia Peach" is not allowed to play.

1931: At Detroit, Tommy Bridges gives up three hits in stopping the Yankees 3 - 1, and dropping the Bombers to second place as they will not retake first.

1937: In Kansas City, Hilton Smith pitches a no-hitter as the Kansas City Monarchs beat the Chicago American Giants, 4 - 0. Smith allows only one Chicago batter to reach base when he walks Melvin Powell in the 4th. Powell is erased on a double play and Smith faces the minimum 27 men. Sug Cornelius pitches a three-hitter in a losing cause.

1937: Browns 3B Harlond Clift equals the American League record at the hot corner with nine assists in a 5 - 4 loss to the Tigers. A fumble and late throw in the 1st inning would have given him a 10th assist. By the end of the season, Clift will set a new record for total chances and the still-standing mark of 405 assists. The Tigers' Gee Walker has a single to run his hitting streak to 21 games.

1966 - Chuck Dressen suffers his second heart attack in two years. Coach Bob Swift again takes the helm of the Tigers.

1978: The Tigers top Seattle, 4 - 2, in 16 innings, winning on a home run by Lance Parrish. Steve Foucault, who pitches the last three innings, gets the win. Relief ace John Hiller tosses 6 2/3 shutout innings.
