August 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906: Beset by injuries, the Tigers call 46-year-old Sam Thompson out of retirement; he drives in two runs in a 5 - 1 win over the Browns. Thompson, who last played in the majors in 1898, appears in eight games and bats .226.

1909 - The A.J. Reach Company is granted a patent for its cork-centered baseball, which will replace the hard rubber-cored one. This change will be particularly apparent in the National League in 1910 and 1911.

1932 - Detroit P Chief Hogsett hits two homers, as the Tigers end Tony Freitas' winning streak at 10 with a 5 - 4 victory over the A's.

1937 - Detroit's rookie Rudy York sets a new record for home runs in a month, hitting his 17th and 18th to eclipse Babe Ruth's mark set in September 1927. He knocks in seven runs against Pete Appleton as Detroit beats Washington, 12 - 3.

1943 - Detroit's Rudy York hits two home runs to bring his August home run total to 17, one less than his 1937 record for home runs in a single month, which he also set in August.

1957 - Steve Dalkowski, legendary minor league fastballer pitching for Kingsport (Appalachian League), strikes out 24, walks 18, hits four batters, and throws six wild pitches in a row. He loses, 9 - 8.

1977: Hank Aaron's mark of 755 career home runs is tied by Sadaharu Oh of the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Pro Baseball.

1988: Arbitrator George Nicolau rules against the Major League owners in the "Collusion II" case, agreeing with the players' contention that the owners conspired to fix the free agent market after the 1986 season. Twelve players will be granted no-risk free agency after the season, as well as monetary compensation.

1988: The first-place Tigers try for pennant insurance: they acquire Ted Power from Kansas City and Fred Lynn from Baltimore for players to be named later.

1989: Arbitrator Thomas Roberts orders the Major League owners to pay $10.5 million in damages as a result of their collusion against free agents after the 1985 season.

1993: In a flurry of deadline trades, the Reds sent pitchers Johnny Ruffin and Jim Pierce to the White Sox in exchange for P Tim Belcher, the Dodgers trade OF Eric Davis to the Tigers in exchange for P John DeSilva, and the Cardinals trade P Lee Smith to the Yankees in exchange for P Rich Batchelor.

September 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1885 - Detroit Wolverines C Charlie Bennett hits a grand slam in the 1st inning? leading Detroit to an 8 - 3 victory over the New York Giants. Only two other grand slams are hit this year? one by Dave Orr (New York) and one by Tom Brown (Pittsburgh).

1918 - The Browns and Tigers finish the season with a doubleheader split in St. Louis as the Cleveland Indians refuse to make the trip for the Labor Day doubleheader. In Game 2? Ty Cobb pitches 2 innings against the Browns while the Browns' George Sisler pitches one scoreless inning. The Browns win 6 - 2? and Sisler hits a double off Cobb. Detroit wins the opener 7 - 2.

1936: Detroit's Schoolboy Rowe fires his second two-hit game in 8 days? beating the A's 4 - 1. Rowe beat the Red Sox on August 25th by a 5 - 0 score. Philadelphia is saved from a shutout when Bob Johnson blasts his 22nd home run in the 9th inning. All of Detroit's runs come in a hitless 4th when they use 5 walks? a fielder's choice and error.

1941: Rudy York wallops 3 home runs and drives in 5 runs for the Tigers who beat the Browns? 9 - 5 in game 1 in Detroit. The Tigers rattle 20 hits in the nitecap to win 16 - 8.

1945: Detroit's Hal Newhouser wrenches his back pitching against the Indians' Bob Feller. Newhouser leaves the game in the 7th and will stay behind when the team leaves for New York? but will rejoin them on the 7th. The Tigers win 5 - 4, behind Jim Tobin and are just 1 1/2 games ahead of the 2nd place Senators.

1961 - The American League's biggest crowd of the year? 65?566? sees Whitey Ford and Don Mossi duel at Yankee Stadium as a week-end battle for first place begins. Two-out? 9th-inning hits by Elston Howard? Yogi Berra? and Bill Skowron give New York a 1 - 0 win over the Tigers.

1964 - Mickey Lolich begins a consecutive innings scoreless streak of 30.2 innings, 5th best in Tigers history. The streak stops on September 12.

1968 - Denny McLain notches his 27th win of the season beating the Orioles 7 - 3. McLain helps the Tiger cause by starting a 3rd-inning triple play.

1970 - The Red Sox take an 8 - 1 lead at Fenway Park? but Detroit rallies to win, 10 - 9. The Sox take the lead on a Mike Andrews homer and a grand slam by Tony Conigliaro. The Tigers then use the long ball as well? collecting 4 homers? including a grand slam by Jim Price? and homeruns from Gates Brown, Norm Cash, Jim Northrup to win. Daryl Patterson is the winner over Sonny Siebert.

1974: During a 5 - 3 win over the Tigers? the A's 1B Gene Tenace goes through the entire game without a fielding chance - only the 4th time this century that has occurred at that position. In the same game? Detroit's Reggie Sanders homers in his first major league at-bat.

1980 - Tigers OF Al Cowens and White Sox reliever Ed Farmer publicly end their long-running feud by shaking hands at home plate prior to Chicago's win at Tiger Stadium. The feud began in 1979 when Farmer broke Cowens' jaw with a pitch? and flared again this June 20th when Cowens hit a ground ball off Farmer and attacked the pitcher instead of running to first base. Cowens was suspended for 7 games and a warrant was issued for his arrest in Illinois? forcing him to skip the previous week's Tigers-White Sox series in Chicago. Farmer agreed to drop the charges in exchange for a handshake? and the two players bring out the lineup cards before today's game.
