Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

April 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1942 - Major league owners decide not to allow furloughed players in the military to play for their clubs if based near a game site.

1962 - The Detroit Tigers sign University of Detroit basketball star Dave DeBusschere. He will pitch effectively in 1962 and 1963 with the Chicago White Sox, but will gain much more notoriety as a key member of the New York Knicks' NBA championship teams of 1970 and 1973.

1981 - The Detroit Tigers purchased Mick Kelleher from the Chicago Cubs.

1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch, whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.

1989 - The Detroit Tigers signed Ed Nunez as a free agent.

1994 - The Detroit Tigers traded Rich Rowland to the Boston Red Sox for John Flaherty.

1999 - The Detroit Tigers signed Alejandro Freire as a free agent.

2004 - The Los Angeles Dodgers traded Steve Colyer to the Detroit Tigers for Cody Ross.

2008 - The Detroit Tigers signed Aaron Fultz as a free agent.
