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

February 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1918 - Barney Dreyfuss of the Rules Committee launches a campaign to ban the spitter. He will succeed next year.

1940 - The A's waive Lynn Nelson to Detroit. Nelson was the A's top winner in 1939 with 10 victories, but he'll go 1-1 with Detroit before bowing out.

1976 - Major League owners announce that spring training will not open until a new labor contract is agreed upon.

1990 - Despite the owners dropping their arbitration and minimum salary proposals, spring training camps remain closed.

1996 - The Rules Committee announces that the strike zone will be larger, dropping it from the top of the knees to the hollow below the knees. The change comes out of a series of recommendations to help speed up play.

2010: Major League Baseball announces that it will begin testing minor leaguers for human growth hormone this season. The illegal performance-enhancing substance has long been considered undetectable by conventional doping tests, but its presence has recently been isolated through a blood test, which will be used for this purpose.
