October 18 in Tigers and mlb history:

2012: The Detroit Tigers complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees in the ALCS with an 8 - 1 win at home. The Tigers build a 6-0 lead after four innings, chasing CC Sabathia, as Max Scherzer cruises to the win. Delmon Young, who is named series MVP, drives in the winning run for the fourth straight game while the Tigers homer four times. The Yankees were thoroughly outplayed, never leading once in the four games, scoring only 6 runs and batting a mere .157.

October 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1923 - Citing the unsavory characters associated with the sport, American League president Ban Johnson persuades AL owners to prohibit boxing matches in their parks. The National League declines to go along with it.

1932 - The Baseball Writers Association of America MVP awards are announced, with Jimmie Foxx winning in the American League and Chuck Klein in the National League.

1965 - NBC wins a Major League Baseball television package, including prime-time All-Star Game and World Series games.

2013 - For the second time in the series, Boston uses a late-game grand slam to defeat the Tigers in the ALCS. Shane Victorino's 7th-inning blast over the Green Monster off Jose Veras is key to a 5 - 2 win that sends the Red Sox to the World Series. Koji Uehara picks up his third save in addition to a win to receive the series' MVP honors.
