September 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1917: Detroit beats the Browns 1 - 0 in 12 innings. Ty Cobb triples off the RF fence in the 12th and scores on a sacrifice fly.

1922: Detroit beats the Browns 8 - 3, on Bobby Veach's two homers off Urban Shocker. First baseman Lu Blue pulls off two unassisted double plays, tying the American League record, and both are off line drives by Johnny Tobin.

1946: In the minor leagues Bill Kennedy of Rocky Mount (Coastal Plain League) will be credited with 456 strikeouts, breaking the former mark of 418 set by the Tigers Virgil Trucks in the Alabama-Florida League in 1938.

1961 - The Yanks rout the Indians 9 - 1, as Mickey Mantle hits home run #52, off Gary Bell. The Yanks win for their 9th straight while Detroit loses their 8th in a row to drop 10 games back. The Tigers purchase veteran Vic Wertz from the Red Sox to shore up their offense.

1967: The Tigers move into a first-place tie with the Twins, as Eddie Mathews and Jim Northrup hit home runs, and Mickey Lolich beats Tommy John 4 - 1, at Chicago.

1972: Mickey Lolich wins his 20th game of the year as Detroit tips the Orioles 4 - 3. The Tigers jump on Jim Palmer (18-8) for three runs in the 1st inning.

1995: The Tigers trade IF Juan Samuel to the Royals in exchange for a player to be named.

2008: Gary Sheffield hits a grand slam for the official 250,000th homer in major league history. The blow is Sheffield's 2nd homer of the day and his 13th career grand slam. Magglio Ordonez, Miguel Cabrera and Mike Hessman also homer as the Tigers outslug the A's 14 - 8.

What does all of this tell us? It simply reinforces the importance of context.
Miguel Cabrera is an even greater hitter than he seems: Comerica Park deflates his actual production somewhat considerably.
All players? production is part true-talent, part context. It is the job of talent evaluators to separate the two.

WHAT IS THE TIGERS' BIGGEST WEAKNESS?
The Tigers could always hit. Fielding on the grass, however, has been a problem. As a unit, Tigers outfielders rank second worst in defensive runs saved, and second worst in ultimate zone rating, better than only the Orioles. Will that derail Detroit's postseason chances?
