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

November 3 in Tigers and mlb history:

1926 - Ty Cobb resigns as Detroit Tigers manager after leading his team to a record of 79-75 and a sixth-place finish. Umpire and former Tigers infielder George Moriarty replaces him. Moriarty is the first man to hold baseball's four principal jobs: player, umpire, scout and manager. Cobb will sign a playing contract with the Philadelphia Athletics and will bat .357 during the 1927 season.

1934 - Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees won the American League Triple Crown after hitting .363 with 49 home runs and 165 RBI. Nevertheless, Detroit Tigers C Mickey Cochrane, who hit .320 with 2 home runs and 76 RBI, is named AL Most Valuable Player.

1942 - Boston Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams was the Triple Crown winner in the American League, but the Baseball Writers Association of America selects Joe Gordon as AL Most Valuable Player. Williams finished with a .356 average, 36 home runs and 137 RBI. Gordon of the New York Yankees led the AL in strikeouts (95), most ground balls hit into double plays (22) and the most errors at second base (28).

1953 - The baseball rules committee restores the 1939 sacrifice fly rule, which says a sac fly is not charged as a time at bat.

1979 - The American League and National League All-Star teams depart on an exhibition tour of Japan. The NL squad will take four of seven from its AL counterparts, but the teams will combine to split a pair of games with the Japanese All-Stars.

2014 - The Tigers hire former catcher Brad Ausmus as their new manager, in replacement of the recently retired Jim Leyland. It will be Ausmus's first managerial assignment at any level.
