January 27 in Tigers and mlb history:

1927: Citing accuser Dutch Leonard's refusal to appear at the hearings of January 5th, Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis issues a lengthy decision clearing Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker of any game-fixing charges. Landis orders the Philadelphia Athletics to reinstate Cobb and the Washington Senators to restore Speaker.
Both players are then made free agents. Philadelphia owner Connie Mack will sign Cobb on February 8th, and Speaker will sign with Washington on January 31st for a reported $35,000.

1963 - John Clarkson, Elmer Flick, Sam Rice and Eppa Rixey are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Rixey will die before the induction ceremonies that summer, marking the first time that a Hall of Famer passes away between the time of election and induction.

2006: The World Baseball Classic set its pitch limits and mercy rules, designed to protect pitchers in the early stages of spring training and cut short one-sided games.

Former big-league infielder Carmen Fanzone grew up idolizing both Al Kaline and jazz trumpeter Chet Baker.
As Bruce Markuson explains below at Detroit Athletic Co., Fanzone refused to choose between music and baseball.

Carmen Fanzone is the same ball player that I have mentioned as saying this;
"Sex is great, playing the saxophone is outta sight, but there's no other thrill in the world than when the bat meets the ball".

Tigers | Detroit acquires Mikie Mahtook
Tampa Bay Rays OF Mikie Mahtook was acquired by the Detroit Tigers Wednesday, Jan. 18, in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Source: MLBRosterMoves

BHQ take:Mahtook might now be DET's leading candidate for Opening Day CF, allowing projected future CF JaCoby Jones to accumulate full-time AB in Triple-A. Mahtook blends above-average speed and above-average power, though he hasn't made enough contact to establish himself beyond a reserve role. ?Tom Kephart

Impact: Medium
