August 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903 - Toledo native George Mullin, pitching for the Tigers, helps the attendance today (6,000) as the Tigers take on New York in a Sunday game in Toledo. Mullin is racked for eight runs, but Detroit scores 12, led by the hitting of Sam Crawford, who is 5 for 6.

1910 - The Tigers top the Senators 8 - 3, with Ty Cobb stealing home for the second time in his career. It comes in the 4th inning with Bob Groom on the mound.

1915: In the second game of a doubleheader, Tiger rookie Bernie Boland no-hits Cleveland through 26 batters before Ben Paschal singles, his first and only hit of the year. Boland wins 3 - 1.

1947 - Hank Greenberg, now a Pirate in the last season of his career, hits the last of his 35 career multi-home run games. In that same game, teammate Ralph Kiner hits three homers.

1948 - Babe Ruth dies of throat cancer at age 53 in New York. He will lie in state at Yankee Stadium and be viewed by more than 100,000 mourners.

1957 - The Tigers release longtime journeyman swingman pitcher Steve Gromek.

1968: Detroit's Denny McLain is 16-0 on the road after blanking the Red Sox, 4 - 0 in Boston. Tigers catcher Bill Freehan is hit by a pitch in three consecutive plate appearances, painfully tying a major league record. He will be hit a record-tying 24 times this season.

1975 - The Tigers finally end a 19-game losing streak with an 8-0 win over California.

1982 - Richie Hebner returns to the Pirates, who buy the veteran from the Tigers.

2002: After four days of delaying the decision, the executive board of the Major League Baseball Players Association votes 57-0 to set an August 30 strike date. All eight previous negotiations since 1972 have resulted in work stoppages in the national pastime.

[kalinecountry]

There?s been some buzz about the Tigers trimming payroll, but Jon Heyman spoke to multiple sources close to the situation who say that talk might be overstated. One spoke specifically about the Ilitch family?s continued commitment to winning.
Heyman speculatively mentions Justin Upton as a player that has previously piqued Detroit?s interest. He also lists the White Sox as a team that may show interest in Upton.
