November 4 in Tigers and mlb history :

1957 - With a new balk rule, the batter now has an option after the call is made. If a player gets a hit, he can accept the outcome of the pitch, instead of being only limited to the advance of the baserunner(s).

1959 - Ernie Banks wins his second National League MVP Award in a row on the strength of his 45 home runs and 143 RBI for the Chicago Cubs.
Eddie Mathews finishes second.

1975 - Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer wins his second Cy Young Award, after pacing the American League in wins (23), shutouts (10), and ERA (2.09).

1980: Japan's all-time home run hitter, Sadaharu Oh, retires from professional baseball. The Tokyo Yomiuri Giants' first baseman hit a record 868 home runs in his 22-year playing career.

1980: The Detroit Tigers signed Dave Gumpert as an amateur free agent.

1980: Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies joins Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer, as pitchers with three Cy Young Awards. Carlton garners all but one of the 24 first-place votes to take National League honors. He posted a 24-9 record with a 2.34 ERA and a league-leading 286 strikeouts.

1988: Dave Bergman of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1988: Darrell Evans of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1988: Ted Power of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

1988: The Detroit Tigers released Larry Herndon.

1999: Luis Polonia of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

2010: Eddie Bonine of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

2010: The Detroit Tigers traded Brent Dlugach to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later. The Boston Red Sox sent Pedro Perez (minors) (April 2, 2011) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

2010: Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson dies in Thousand Oaks, California at 76. Nicknamed "Captain Hook" for his tendency to remove his starting pitchers early in the game - now standard practice - he was the first manager to win over 100 games in a season in both leagues, and the first to lead teams from both leagues to World Championships, doing so with Cincinnati in 1975 and 1976, and with Detroit in 1984.
