Detroit Tigers Team Notes

August 10 in Tigers history :

1911 - The Detroit club announces that a new grandstand, costing $300,000, will be built for the 1912 season.

1915: In Washington, Detroit 3B Ossie Vitt is hit by a Walter Johnson fastball and, after being knocked out for five minutes, leaves the game with a concussion. A rattled Johnson then allows four runs in the first inning, two runs on a 2-run homer by George Burns, and another four through the 6th inning to lose (he will be 17-2 at home this year). Ty Cobb, observing Johnson's fear of hitting a batter, will begin to crowd the plate on the Washington ace from here on. Cobb will average .435 for the rest of his career against Walter, after topping .222 only once in the previous eight years.

1924 - Ty Cobb steals second base once, third base twice, and home once in the Tigers' 13 - 7 win over Boston that puts them on top in the American League.

1930: At Fenway Park, Detroit's Earl Whitehill wins his 9th straight, beating the Red Sox, 4 - 2. The Sox score their two runs in the 9th. Detroit collects nine hits, but John Stone goes hitless ending his 23-game hitting streak.

1995: The Tigers trade P Mike Henneman to the Astros in exchange for a player to be named.

2001: The Royals defeat the Tigers in a game marked by a 6th-inning brawl set off when Kansas City 1B Mike Sweeney charges Detroit P Jeff Weaver after Weaver calls him a profane name. Numerous punches are thrown as both benches and bullpens clear. After a 12-minute delay, the game resumes with Sweeney, KC coach Al Nipper, and Detroit coach Doug Mansolino ejected from the contest. Sweeney will be suspended 10 games for his actions, and Detroit catcher Robert Fick eight games. Five other players and four coaches will also be disciplined.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Al Kaline gets to throw first pitch to grandson Colin.
I would bet that Tigers legend Al Kaline has done plenty of memorable things on a baseball field, and achieved virtually everything he ever wanted to accomplish. But throwing a ceremonial first pitch to his grandson Colin before the Class A Connecticut Tigers' game on Monday had to have been one of the more special moments.

Colin Kaline, a second baseman from Florida Southern, was the Tigers' 26th-round pick in this year's draft.

Afterwards, Al Kaline chatted about baseball fans then and now, Tiger Stadium, and his 60 years with the Tigers with Thomas Neumann of ESPN.com's Page 2.

What a nice read for this old Tigers and Kaline fan.
