October 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1940 - With only one day off, Bobo Newsom comes back for the Tigers and nearly has enough to win Game Seven of the World Series. Cincinnati Reds Paul Derringer gives up seven hits in the first six innings but sets the Tigers down in order in the final three frames for the 2 - 1 win, giving the Reds the Series.

1945 - Stan Hack's double makes a tricky bounce over left fielder Hank Greenberg's shoulder with two outs in the 12th inning to score runner Bill Schuster and give the Chicago Cubs an 8 - 7 win in Game Six to even the World Series with Detroit.

1972 - In Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, Bert Campaneris, a scumbag for the ages, of the Oakland Athletics throws his bat at Detroit Tigers pitcher Lerrin LaGrow after being hit by a pitch. Both players are ejected and Campaneris is suspended for the rest of the series.

2011 - The Texas Rangers take the first game of the 2011 ALCS over the Detroit Tigers with a rain-soaked 3 - 2 win over ace Justin Verlander in Arlington. They score two early runs against the 24-game winner; one on a solo homer by Nelson Cruz in the 4th, before Verlander leaves after a 5th-inning rain delay. Rangers starter C.J. Wilson who has to depart early, but five relievers allow only a hit and a walk in the last 4 1/3 innings; Alexi Ogando, the man they call wart face, is the winner.

2013: The ALDS will require a decisive 5th game after the Tigers defeat the Athletics, 8 - 6, in Game 4. Facing elimination, Detroit manager Jim Leyland uses ace starter Max Scherzer in relief in the 7th; he allows a run in that inning but escapes a none out, bases loaded jam in the 8th while his teammates score 5 runs over those two innings to give him the win.
