May 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1917 - Ty Cobb collects three hits and starts what will be a 35-game hitting streak, the second longest of his storied career. Cobb hits .383 and wins his 10th batting title in 1917. In all, he will have five hitting streaks of 20 games or more in his 24-year career.

1927 - There is an unassisted triple play for the second consecutive day in the major leagues. During the 9th inning of a game at Tiger Stadium, Detroit first baseman Johnny Neun completes the rare play by catching a Homer Summa line drive, tagging Charlie Jamieson between first and second, and then touching second before Glenn Myatt can return. Detroit beats the Indians, 1 - 0.

1944 - Al Unser hits his only home run of the season, a pinch-hit grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 6 - 2.

1976 - Mark Fidrych pitches an 11-inning complete game and defeats the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4. The victory is the third of the year for Fidrych, who goes on to win Rookie of the Year honors in the American League.

1983 - American League President Lee MacPhail suspends Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for one week, citing "repeated problems" with the outspoken owner's public criticism of umpires. Steinbrenner, who was fined $50,000 by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn during spring training for berating some National League umpires, cannot attend games or be in his Yankee Stadium office during the suspension.

2010: The Tigers designate pitcher Dontrelle Willis for assignment. He seemed to have turned a corner in his comeback bid when he made the Tigers' starting rotation out of spring training, but has only won one game all season. This may not yet be the end of the line for the gregarious lefthander, though, as both the Diamondbacks and Marlins have shown interest in acquiring his services. On June 1st, Willis will be traded to Arizona for P Billy Buckner.
