Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 6 in Tigers and mlb history :

1914 - The National Commission grants some demands of the Players' union: players are to be notified in writing of their transfer or release and to receive a copy of their contract; players with 10 years in the Major Leagues are eligible to become free agents; clubs will pay traveling expenses to spring training and furnish all uniforms, and outfield fences in major league ballparks should be painted green to provide a better hitting background for batters.

2000: Gene Budig resigns as American League president and is appointed a senior adviser to Commissioner Bud Selig. The American and National Leagues will be disbanded as legal entities later this month, with their functions consolidated in the commissioner's office.

Miguel Cabrera was given a $500 fine and one year of probation Wednesday on his February DUI charge.
Cabrera also had his license suspended for six months. The 28-year-old first baseman was arrested last February in Florida when police found him standing next to his vehicle, drinking from a bottle of scotch. He got into an argument with the officers and was clubbed in the knee several times after threatening violence. Cabrera has since changed his lifestyle, and managed to post a remarkable 1.033 OPS in 161 games last season for the American League Central champion Tigers.
