Mike Ilitch's death opens questions about Detroit sports; U-M, MSU get boosts.
Mlive

Once all the tributes are paid and the great entrepreneur and sports owner's death is digested, there will be some intrigue about how the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings are operated moving forward after the passing of owner Mike Ilitch.

Ilitch, the Little Caesars founder who died Friday at 87, was known for his largesse in the effort to build winners. He took moribund franchises at the time of purchase and turned the Red Wings into four-time Stanley Cup winners and the Tigers into two-time American League champions during his ownership.

That kind of financial commitment among sports owners is no guarantee. Ilitch had it. The ownership of half of Detroit's major-league franchises is about to change, virtually overnight. How that happens will shape the city's sports landscape for years to come.

It will be a strange sensation when spring training opens this week in Lakeland, Fla., days after Ilitch's passing.

? ? ?
I don't know that Ilitch's death was one of those moments that everyone will remember where they were when it happened. I will. I walked into The Palace of Auburn Hills for Friday's Spurs-Pistons game and didn't even have a chance to drop my computer before I heard about it.

February 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1920 - Officials organize the Negro National League in a meeting held at the YMCA in Kansas City, Missouri. Spearheaded by league founder Rube Foster, the NNL will become the most successful of all Negro Leagues ventures and will last until the late 1940s.

1974 - James (Cool Papa) Bell is elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Committee on the Negro Leagues. Known for his legendary footspeed, Bell joins Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard and Monte Irvin, as Negro Leagues greats selected to the Hall.

1987 - Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Morris is awarded a $1.85 million salary by arbitrator Richard Bloch, the highest amount awarded to date through the salary arbitration process.
