February 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1945 - At the major league meetings, the owners cancel the 1945 All-Star Game scheduled to be played at Boston's Fenway Park on July 10th. Even after the cancellation, schedule-makers leave the dates of July 9, 10 and 11 open in case circumstances change, permitting the game. In place of the All-Star Game, eight simultaneous games pitting the National League vs. the American League are to be played. Seven are played, with the 8th being cancelled.
Also approved is a rule change stating that a player needs 400 at bats to qualify for a batting title.
