Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

October 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910 - Nap Lajoie, in a batting race with Ty Cobb, collects eight hits for Cleveland in a season-ending doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns. The hits were somewhat tainted, however, as St. Louis third baseman Red Corriden played back while Lajoie bunted safely six times. Cobb still wins the batting title with a .383 average.

1934 - The St. Louis Cardinals' Dizzy Dean blanks the Detroit Tigers, 11 - 0, in Game Seven of the World Series.

1984 - The Detroit Tigers win the World Series opener as Jack Morris pitches a complete game 3 - 2 victory over San Diego. Larry Herndon's two-run home run in the 5th inning provides the winning margin.

2012: The Athletics avoid elimination with a 2 - 0 win over the Tigers in Game 3 of the ALDS. Brett Anderson pitches 6 shutout innings in returning to the mound after a twenty-day injury layoff, setting the tone for Oakland. Coco Crisp scores a run in the 1st and DH Seth Smith homers off Anibal Sanchez in the 5th for the only runs of the game.

This morning was one of those few times after the Tigers season is finished that there were no Tigers' news stories. It happens, more often in December/January.
