July 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: With the Highlanders leading the Tigers 3 - 2 in the 8th, Detroit scores two runs on a Ty Cobb triple. With lefty Claude Rossman the next hitter, New York's new manager Kid Elberfeld moves righty pitcher Jack Chesbro to 1B and replaces him with first baseman Hal Chase. Chase allows a fly ball that scores Cobb, then goes back to 1B and Chesbro resumes his spot on the mound. It is Chase's only pitching appearance as the Tigers win, 5 - 3.

1959: Against Detroit, Yankee first baseman Moose Skowron reaching for a wide throw, collides with Tiger runner Coot Veal. Skowron's arm is broken in two places and he is out for the rest of the season. Marv Throneberry will fill in at 1B. The Yanks win, 9 - 8, when Yogi Berra hits a home run in the 9th with Mickey Mantle on. Prior to the Yogi home run, Bobby Richardson and Fritz Brickell hit their first major league homers for New York. Berra's home run erases five Yankee errors, three by 3B Hector Lopez.

1966 - Red Sox great Ted Williams is inducted into the Hall of Fame. In his induction speech the "Spendid Splinter" makes a strong appeal for the inclusion of Negro League stars at Cooperstown.

1967: Race riots in Detroit force postponement of a Tigers-Orioles game. The games scheduled for the 26th and 27th are shifted to Baltimore.

1993 - Detroit P Mike Moore hurls a one-hit, 3 - 0 shutout over the Royals. Wally Joyner's 2nd-inning single is the only Kansas City safety.

1999: The Tigers defeat the Red Sox, 9 - 1, as 1B Tony Clark homers from both sides of the plate for the second time this season.

Hall of Famer Tom Gage got helping hand early in career.
detnews

Gage, 67, the Tigers beat writer for The Detroit News for 36 years, was to get his place in Cooperstown on Saturday afternoon as the winner of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for baseball-writing excellence.

He's the first Detroit writer to win the award since 2002, when Joe Falls, also a former News writer, accepted the honor.

And Gage was there to cover Falls' speech, all because an editor decades ago and many miles away believed in a young kid from Detroit.

His baseball-writing career began when he came to The News in 1976, and was named the Tigers beat writer in 1979. He figures he wrote 11 million words during his career, but he still put that interest in history to use over the years.

"I promised myself that I just wasn't gonna be a hotel and ballpark guy," said Gage, who lives in Grosse Pointe with his wife, Lisa. "Back then, with print deadlines and many of the games beginning at 8 o'clock, you had basically all afternoon. You weren't looking down at your phone, you weren't looking down at your computer.
