June 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909 - Jim Thorpe makes his baseball pitching debut for the Rocky Mount Railroaders (Eastern Carolina League) with a 4 - 2 win over the Raleigh Red Birds. It is the professional play in this year that will later cause him to lose his Olympic gold medals won in the 1912 Olympics (thus violating the amateur status rules). In 1983, thirty years after his death, his medals will be restored.

1938 - At Sportsman's Park, the St. Louis Browns walk Red Sox star Jimmie Foxx all six times he comes to bat. The Browns' decision to pitch carefully to Foxx does not prevent the Red Sox from winning the game, 12 - 8. Being intentionally walked six times in a nine-inning game, Foxx sets an American League record and matches the mark set by Walt Wilmot in the National League in 1891.

1993 - Ken Griffey, Jr. of the Seattle Mariners hits his 100th career home run in Seattle's 6 - 1 victory over Kansas City to become the fourth-youngest to hit the century mark. Only Mel Ott, Eddie Mathews and Tony Conigliaro did it faster than the 23-year-old Griffey.

1996 - Legendary broadcaster Mel Allen dies at the age of 83. In 1939, Allen started doing play-by-play for both the New York Yankees and New York Giants, and later narrated the long-running television show, This Week in Baseball. In 1978, Allen received the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasting excellence.

James McCann thrown out at home the latest Tigers base-running episode.

Curious where the Tigers stand when it comes to base running?

According to Baseball-Reference, while Detroit baserunners rank in the bottom half of the American League in number of times they've been caught stealing (11), they sit second in number of times they've been picked off (seven) and fourth in the number of times they've been thrown out trying to make a play (27).

The Tigers, who led the AL with 51 runners caught stealing in 2015, made a special push in spring training to improve their base running.

So far in 2016, with 25 stolen bases and a completion percentage of just 69 percent, it's continued to be a liability.
