This is a tidbit perhaps better shared in August, but I was just reminded of it and will pass it along now. It qualifies as one of the best waiver acquisitions ever, and if you?re not a Detroit Tigers fan of a certain age, you probably aren?t familiar with it.

On August 2, 1972, the Tigers claimed Woodie Fryman off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies, and the lefty proceeded to go 10-3 with a 2.06 ERA over the last two months of the season. Detroit captured the American League by half a game over Boston, with Fryman getting the clinching win against the Red Sox on October 3.

Tigers also purchased the contract of Frank Howard the end of August.
