October 22 in Tigers and mlb history:
1845 - The first known box score appears in the New York Morning News a month after the first set of rules are written by Alexander Cartwright and some his fellow New York Knickerbockers.
1920 - Eight members of the Chicago White Sox are indicted for supposedly throwing the 1919 World Series. Although considered heavy favorites to win the Series, the White Sox lost to the Cincinnati Reds in eight games in what will become known as the Black Sox Scandal.
2000: Although lacking big league managerial experience, Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach Lloyd McClendon is named as the team's manager, replacing recently-fired Gene Lamont.
2002: Lou Gehrig's consecutive games streak being broken by Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1995 is voted as baseball's most memorable moment by the fans participating in a Major League Baseball and MasterCard promotion. Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, Jackie Robinson becoming the first black to play in MLB, Mark McGwire breaking Roger Maris' single-season home run record and Gehrig's farewell speech were also in the top five events selected by the fans.
2006 - Kenny Rogers continues his mastery in the post-season, extending his scoreless innings streak to 23 with eight shutout frames in Detroit?s 3-1 victory in Game Two of the World Series. During the game, the Cardinals ask the umpires to examine Rogers? glove for a foreign substance, citing a dark smudge on his pitching hand. Rogers claims the smudge is dirt from the mound.
