Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 12 in Tigers and mlb history :

1921 - Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis takes over his new role as commissioner of baseball. Landis, who is given wide-ranging powers, replaces the three-man National Commission that had been running the game for nearly two decades.

1924 - Outfielder Bobby Veach is sold by the Detroit Tigers to the Boston Red Sox.

1972: Detroit Tigers owner John Fetzer announces that the Tigers have signed a lease to build a $126 million domed stadium along the river in downtown Detroit. The complex will seat 52,000 for baseball, and 60,000 for football. Lawsuits, a failed bond issue, and the construction of the Silverdome in nearby Pontiac will eventually kill the idea.

1988 - Ex-Tigers Pitcher Jim Bunning falls four votes shy of the 321 needed for election in his 13th year on the ballot.

1991 - The Detroit Tigers obtain catcher Mickey Tettleton from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for pitcher Jeff Robinson.
