January 3 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - At Laughery club house, near Rising Sun, IN, the National Commission adopts a rule that bars World Series winners from playing post-season exhibition games. This obscure rule will lead to a direct confrontation between Babe Ruth and Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis in 1921.

1920 - The secret deal made on December 26th to sell Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 (twice the amount ever paid previously for a player) is announced publicly. Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee also secures a $350,000 loan from the Yankees as part of the deal.

1946 - The Boston Red Sox get Rudy York from the Detroit Tigers in a trade for Eddie Lake.

January 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1932: The Great Depression deepens, and American League costs are cut by dropping an umpire from the AL staff of 11.

1942 - Rogers Hornsby becomes the 14th player selected to the Hall of Fame, getting 78 percent of the vote, while both Frank Chance (58%) and Rube Waddell (54%) miss out. Hornsby's offensive numbers rival those of any player before or since. He and Ted Williams are the only players to win the Triple Crown twice, and Hornsby's .424 mark in 1924 is the highest National League batting average in the 20th century.

1969 - Attorney Jack Reynolds, administrator of the new umpires union, says an economic agreement has been worked out between the American League and umpires that will avert a strike this year.

1995 - Five bills aimed at ending the Major League Baseball strike are introduced in the United States Congress.
