June 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1900 - A forerunner of today's players' union is organized in New York. Three delegates from each National League team launch the Players Protective Association and elect Chief Zimmer president. Former player Harry Taylor? of Buffalo? is the attorney. Their goal is to negotiate contracts and rules changes.

1915: The 2nd-place Tigers paste the Red Sox? 15 - 0. With lefty Ray Collins on the mound in the 3rd? Ty Cobb swipes home? one of his 3 steals on the day. His steal attempt in the first inning cuts up SS Everett Scott? forcing him to retire. The Tigers manage 17 hits? including 4 by Bobby Veach. Hooks Dauss? with 6 innings pitched? is the winner.

1916: In Detroit? consecutive doubles by Bobby Veach and George Burns stop Babe Ruth's scoreless innings streak at 25. Ruth evens the score with a longest drive ever seen at Navin Field? into the RF bleachers. When Ruth tires in the 9th? Carl Mays relieves and loses? 6 - 5.

1920: The Yankees come from behind to club the host Tigers? 13 - 6. Pacing the Yanks are Bob Meusel? with a double and two singles? and George Mogridge with a bases-loaded double before the Tigers knock him out. Babe Ruth has a single? two walks and is hit with a pitch. The Tigers are playing without Ty Cobb? out ten days with an injured knee.

1937: Mickey Cochrane is taken off Detroit's active-player roster. 3B Marv Owen is sidelined with a broken bone in his hand? and Rudy York is recalled from Toledo to replace him.

1969 - Mickey Lolich's 16 strikeouts in 9 innings ties the Detroit record he set May 23rd? but the Tigers drop a 3 - 2? 10-inning decision to Seattle. Pat Dobson is the loser. The only run off Lolich is a leadoff home run by Dick Simpson on the first pitch of the game.

1970 - Detroit's Willie Horton clubs 3 home runs? including a grand slam? knocking in 7 runs in an 8 - 3 win over Milwaukee.

1984: For the second time in a week? the Orioles' Mike Flanagan beats the Tigers? this time shutting them out? 4 - 0? out on 7 hits. The Tigers stay in front by 5 1/2 games.
