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

The Tigers are known to be casting a wide net in their search for relievers, and ESPN?s Jerry Crasnick tweets that their targets include Ryan Madson, Shawn Kelley and Tommy Hunter in addition to previously reported links to Darren O?Day and Joakim Soria. As Crasnick further notes, Hunter was a teammate of GM Al Avila?s son (and former Detroit backstop) Alex Avila in college, giving Hunter a bit of an in with the organization. The Tigers would like to add a pair of bullpen arms, and Avila said yesterday that he?s not concerned with pitcher handedness but instead just focused on general upgrades.

November 14 in Tigers and mlb history:

1946 - Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox wins his first American League Most Valuable Player Award. Williams had hit .406 and led the league in home runs in 1941, but had lost the MVP race to Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees. He won the Triple Crown a year later, but lost the MVP to Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees. This time, Williams beats out Detroit Tigers ace pitcher Hal Newhouser, a two-time winner of the MVP award who finishes second in the balloting.

1957 - Milwaukee Braves outfielder Hank Aaron is named National League Most Valuable Player with 239 votes. Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals is a close second with 230, and his teammate Red Schoendienst finishes third with 221.

1961 - John Fetzer's purchase of the outstanding one-third interest in the Detroit Tigers makes him sole owner of the club.

2012: Free agent OF Torii Hunter signs a two-year, $26-million contract with the Detroit Tigers.

2013 - The MVPs in the two major league circuits are both clear-cut picks: Andrew McCutchen gets 28 of 30 first-place votes in the NL and Miguel Cabrera 23 in the AL. Cabrera led the 2013 AL in average, slugging, OBP and OPS, was second in homers and RBI to win his second straight AL MVP.
