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

October 28 in Tigers and mlb history:

1968 - Future Hall of Famer Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals wins his first Cy Young Award. Gibson is a unanimous choice after dominating hitters with a 22-9 record and an ERA of 1.12 during the "Year of the Pitcher".

1988 - San Diego trades Keith Moreland and Chris Brown to the Tigers for pitcher Walt Terrell.

2012: The Giants complete a sweep of the Tigers in the World Series with a 4 - 3, 10-inning win in Game 4. Miguel Cabrera, Delmon Young and Buster Posey all homer as the two teams are tied, 3 - 3, after 9, then Marco Scutaro drives in Ryan Theriot for the winning run in the top of the 10th. Sergio Romo ends the game picking up his third save. It is the Giants' second Championship in three years.

Tigers sign veteran Arcenio Leon to minor-league deal.

The Tigers have made two other minor moves this month:

* They signed 20-year-old right-handed pitcher Sandel De La Cruz, a native of the Dominican Republic.

* They extended the contract of right-hand pitcher Cory Riordan. The 30-year-old, originally drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2007, split time between Toledo and Double-A Erie in 2015. He could have been a Rule 55 free agent.

October 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1931 - Lefty Grove, winner of 31 games for the Philadelphia Athletics, is named American League MVP. Grove led the league in strikeouts for the seventh straight season and topped all pitchers in winning percentage, ERA and complete games.

1975 - Fred Lynn of the Boston Red Sox is the overwhelming choice as American League Rookie of the Year. Lynn, who helped the Red Sox to the AL championship, made the All-Star team, hit .331 with 21 home runs and 105 RBI, and led the league in runs (103), doubles (47), slugging percentage (.566) and OPS (.967). A Gold Glove winner as well, he will become the first rookie to win the Most Valuable Player Award later this off-season.

2014: The Giants win Game 7 of the World Series, 3 - 2, over the Royals to clinch their third Championship in five years. Madison Bumgarner pitches the last five innings without giving up a run to earn the save, completing an otherworldly pitching performance that earns him the World Series Most Valuable Player Award.
