September 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1879 - Baseball's reserve clause is born. National League owners, seeking to limit player salaries, led by Boston's Arthur Soden come to a secret agrerement whereby five players on each team will be "reserved" - off-limits to all other clubs. The reserve clause will be in effect for the 1880 season. The owners tell the newspapers that they have agreed upon a uniform contract with no salary advances.

1928 - The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers combine for an American League-record 45 hits in a nine-inning game. The Tigers get 28 of the hits in a 19 - 10 win.

1934 - Babe Ruth hits his last homer as a Yankee. #659 as a Yankee and #708 of his career comes off Syd Cohen in Washington, DC.

1942 - Satchel Paige of the Kansas City Monarchs pitches 5 2/3 innings of hitless relief against the Washington-Homestead Grays, winning 9 - 5 in Philadelphia in the 1942 Colored World Series, finishing a four-game sweep of the Grays.

1954 - Willie Mays makes his famous running catch off the bat of Cleveland's Vic Wertz in Game one of the World Series.

1996: Alan Trammell goes 2-for-4 with an RBI in his final game. Hits single in 10th & lifted for pinch runner at Tiger Stadium.
