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

July 12 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: The Detroit Tigers beat New York 6 - 3, with the help of two errors by Highlander 1B Jack Doyle. The vet Doyle was signed yesterday and this will be his only appearance for New York.

1911: In the first inning of a 9 - 0 win over the Athletics at Detroit, Ty Cobb walks, then on consecutive pitches steals second base, third base, and home off lefty Harry Krause. Twice he beats perfect throws by C Ira Thomas. After Cobb reaches on a fielder's choice in the 3rd, Sam Crawford homers. In the 7th Cobb walks, is bunted to second, and scores on a sacrifice fly, knocking the ball out of the hands of the new catcher Paddy Livingston.

1913 - Philadelphia's Boardwalk Brown walks 15 Tigers in 7 2/3 innings, but staggers to a 16 - 9 win. Brown has only one walkless inning - the first. Ty Cobb previously out for a week with an injured knee, plays 2B for the only time in his career, and makes three errors in his five fielding chances.

1949: The major league owners agree to install warning tracks made of cinder in front of outfield fences prior to the start of next season.

1949: The National League commits five errors, allowing the American League to record an 11 - 7 triumph in the All-Star Game at Ebbets Field. The contest marks the first appearance of black players in an All-Star Game: Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe in the NL lineup, and Larry Doby among the AL stars.

1955 - At Milwaukee's County Stadium, Stan Musial comes to bat in the bottom of 12th inning of a 5 - 5 All-Star deadlock. American League catcher Yogi Berra complains about his feet hurting and Musial tells him "Don't worry, I'll have you home in a minute"... then "the Man" hits a game-winning home run on the next pitch. The American League had taken a 5-run lead on a 3-run homer by Mickey Mantle off Robin Roberts, only to see the NL tie it. Braves P Gene Conley strikes out the side in the 12th.

1976 - A tentative agreement between the players and owners on labor contracts is reached. The formal agreement will be announced August 9th.

1979 - After a delay of an hour and 16 minutes, the White Sox are forced to forfeit the second game of twi-night doubleheader against the Tigers when over 5,000 fans refuse to leave the field during Disco Demolition Night. Mike Veeck's promotion involves admitting fans for 98 cents with a disco record, collecting the vinyl and then literally blowing up the LPs and .45s in center field.

2005: During the All-Star Game Town Hall discussion, Bud Selig, believing the designated hitter is a big part of the game, states the rule will remain in use for the foreseeable future. The commissioner however makes it clear the National League will not adopt the 1973 addition to the American League rule book.

2005 - The American League defeats the National League, 7-5 in the All-Star Game played at Comerica Park in Detroit. Andruw Jones, Mark Teixeira, and Miguel Tejada hit home runs and Yankee closer Mariano Rivera records the save.

El Juego de Estrellas m?s especial para venezolano Miguel Cabrera.

(I put the story in Spanish through a translator and came up with this);

For several reasons, the eleventh of his career is the game's stars more special in the legendary career of the great Slugger Venezuelan Miguel Cabrera.

"They say that you'll never forget the first, but I am sure that I will never forget this," said Cabrera to ESPN Digital during the practices of the American League, on Monday, at Petco Park in San Diego.

"This has not been one of my best years, I come from missing the star game from last year, and this is also the last of David Ortiz. Didn't it I lose ", said the Baseman's Detroit Tigers.

Cabrera, who won the batting title in four of the previous five seasons and achieved a triple Crown of hitters and two most valuable player awards in that stretch, was summoned to the mid-season classic for seventh year in a row and 11th time in his career for 14 seasons.

Cabrera, active player with more selections to the star game, could not participate in the festivities of last year at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati due to injury and seemed that it would be the team of the young circuit this year, after batting.206 with a Homer in the first 17 games of the season.

However, Cabrera caught them engines firing two blasted the 25 of April and 15 more in them next 70 games to conclude the ecuador of the season batting.293 with 18 home runs and 53 batted, figures below the exalted "level Cabrera"-average.320 with 34 home runs, 41 double and 102 scored by each 162 parties in its career-, but good for them players normal.

When Eric Hosmer, of Kansas City Royals, won the vote of the fans to open at first base, Cabrera colleagues do not waver in choosing him as a substitute on the American League roster. A recognition that recalled to many the place that occupies the Venezuelan in the hierarchy of the game.

"Though not game for that, for what people say", said Cabrera, who has hit 2,429 hits (including 508 double and 426 home runs) at 33 years of age and for many already has merits to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame if not to play one further match the rest of your life.

"If it's going well, people talk well, if I go wrong, speak poorly. In fact, one learns such comments to block. One learns to live the day to day, of the things positive that can make in the field ", added.

Cabrera was called the star game for the first time in his second season with the Florida Marlins in 2004, when he was 22 years of age.
