Tigers announce coaching staff changes for 2017.
PressReleaseTigersOfficialSite

The Tigers have announced that hitting coach Wally Joyner will not return in 2017, as he intends to pursue “other interests in the game of baseball.” Assistant hitting coach David Newhan’s role with the team will be determined once the team finds a replacement for Joyner.
Other key Tigers coaches (including pitching coach Rich Dubee, bench coach Gene Lamont, first base coach Omar Vizquel, third base coach Dave Clark, bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer and defensive coordinator Matt Martin) will return. The Tigers exercised manager Brad Ausmus’ 2017 option earlier this week. Under Joyner and Newhan, the Tigers had one of MLB’s better offenses in 2016, batting .267/.331/.438, although it should perhaps be noted that having Miguel Cabrera in the middle of their lineup gave them a hefty head start.

October 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1886: Detroit Wolverines finish season at 87-36, best winning %age (.707) in Detroit pro baseball history ('84 Tigers: 104-58, .642).

1907: Cubs beat Tigers 3-1, take 1-0 WS lead. Bill Coughlin catches Cubs' Jimmy Slagle on 1st hidden ball trick in WS history.

1909: Ty Cobb steals home to spark a 3-run rally; Tigers tie World Series at 1 game each in 7 - 2 win over pirates.

1910 - Nap Lajoie, in a batting race with Ty Cobb, collects eight hits for Cleveland in a season-ending doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns. The hits were somewhat tainted, however, as St. Louis third baseman Red Corriden played back while Lajoie bunted safely six times. Cobb still wins the batting title with a .383 average.

1934 - The St. Louis Cardinals' Dizzy Dean blanks the Detroit Tigers, 11 - 0, in Game Seven of the World Series.

1984 - The Detroit Tigers win the World Series opener as Jack Morris pitches a complete game 3 - 2 victory over San Diego. Larry Herndon's two-run home run in the 5th inning provides the winning margin.

2012: The Athletics avoid elimination with a 2 - 0 win over the Tigers in Game 3 of the ALDS. Brett Anderson pitches 6 shutout innings in returning to the mound after a twenty-day injury layoff, setting the tone for Oakland. Coco Crisp scores a run in the 1st and DH Seth Smith homers off Anibal Sanchez in the 5th for the only runs of the game.

October 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908 - In the opener of their second straight World Series against the Cubs, the Tigers lose, 10-6 at Bennett Park. Leading 6-5 entering the ninth, for the second straight year, Detroit fails to wrap up a Game One victory. The Cubs bang out six straight singles and steal two bases to score five runs and stun the Detroit crowd.

1945 - The Detroit Tigers score five runs in the 1st inning of Game Seven of the World Series, and rout the Cubs, 9 - 3, behind Hal Newhouser, who strikes out 10 to win the World Championship.

1968 - Mickey Lolich wins the World Series for the Detroit Tigers by defeating Bob Gibson and the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 - 1, in Game Seven. It is Lolich's third win and comes after the Tigers had lost three of the first four games. Lolich is voted the MVP of the Series.

1972 - Tigers defeat the Oakland A’s in Game Three of the American League Championship Series on a shutout by Joe Coleman, who sets a MLB record with 14 strikeouts in a playoff game. The win at Tiger Stadium keeps the Tigers alive in the best-of-five series.

1983 - John E. Fetzer sells the Detroit Tigers to pizza magnate Tom Monaghan. Monaghan pays more than $50 million for a team that Fetzer invested less than $6 million in when he was part of a group that purchased the Tigers in 1956.

2013: For the second straight year, the Tigers defeat the Athletics in the 5th game of the Division Series. The team's two biggest stars are the heroes today, as Justin Verlander gives up no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings, while Miguel Cabrera hits a two-run homer off rookie Sonny Gray in the 4th. Joaquin Benoit picks up the save in the 3 - 0 win.
