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

March 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1907 - In a trade of legendary outfielders, the Detroit Tigers send Ty Cobb to the Cleveland Naps in exchange for Elmer Flick. But Cleveland's manager, Nap Lajoie, rejects the trade of future Hall of Famer. Flick will bat .302 this year, while Cobb will lead the American League with a .350 mark.

1932 - In St. Petersburg training camp, Babe Ruth signs a one-year contract for $75,000 and a percentage of the exhibition gate. Legend has it the Bambino signed a blank contract with the amount filled in later by New York Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert.

1985 - Denny McLain, winner of the American League Cy Young Award in 1968, is convicted of racketeering, extortion, and cocaine possession in Tampa, Florida. McLain will serve 29 months of a 23-year sentence before an appeals court overturns the decision.
