Detroit Tigers Team Notes

January 16 in Tigers and mlb history :

1986 - Minnesota also trades Dave Engle to the Tigers for Chris Pittaro and Alejandro Sanchez.

1996: Major League Baseball's executive council approves a history-making first: interleague play for the 1997 season. The Players' Association will eventually give its approval, enabling geographic rivals like the New York's Mets and Yankees, Chicago's Cubs and White Sox, and Los Angeles' Angels and Dodgers to play each other during the regular season.

2003: The owners establish the minimum age of 14 for bat boys. The change from not having any age requirement is prompted by a near collision at home plate during Game Five of the World Series involving 4-year old bat boy Darren Baker, the son of Giants manager Dusty Baker.

2003: Trying to restore a competitive edge to the All-Star Game, the owners unanimously approve that the winning league of the Mid-Summer classic will have home-field advantage during the World Series. Approval is needed by the players to change the current rotation between the two leagues, which was put in place since the inception of the World Series in 1903.
