June 14 in Tigers and mlb history:

1933 - Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak stays intact, even though he and Yankees manager Joe McCarthy are thrown out of a game. McCarthy is suspended for three games but not Gehrig, whose streak, now at 1,249, continues.

1939: The Detroit Tigers traded Harry Eisenstat and cash to the Cleveland Indians for Earl Averill.

1954: The Detroit Tigers traded Johnny Pesky to the Washington Senators for Mel Hoderlein.

1956: The Detroit Tigers signed Jim Robertson as a free agent.

1957: The Detroit Tigers traded Earl Torgeson to the Chicago White Sox for Dave Philley.

1966: The Detroit Tigers traded a player to be named later and Don Demeter to the Boston Red Sox for Joe Christopher and Earl Wilson.
The Detroit Tigers sent Julio Navarro (June 21, 1966) to the Boston Red Sox to complete the trade.

1969: The New York Yankees traded Tom Tresh to the Detroit Tigers for Ron Woods.

1969: Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics collects 10 RBI with two home runs, a double and two singles against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. In the 8th inning, Jackson drives in three runs with a single when he easily could have made second base. Oakland wins, 21 - 7.

1974: At Anaheim Stadium, Nolan Ryan strikes out 19 Boston Red Sox batters in 13 innings, including Cecil Cooper six consecutive times, to help the California Angels to a 4 - 3 victory in 15 innings.

2002: With all 14 interleague games - and one National League game - taking place in NL parks, a designated hitter is not used in a full slate of major league games for the first time since 1972. Visiting pitchers will have plenty of opportunities to swing the bat as there is not a home game scheduled in American League parks for 10 consecutive days.

2005: Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners becomes the third major leaguer since 1900 to reach 1,000 hits in fewer than 700 games when he singles in the bottom of the 1st inning in the Mariners' 3 - 1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Suzuki's 1,000th hit comes in his 696th game. Chuck Klein reached the mark in 1933 in 683 games, and Lloyd Waner reached it in 1932 in 686 games.

2011: Justin Verlander comes within 5 outs of pitching his second no-hitter of the season in leading the Tigers into first place in the AL Central with a 4 - 0 win over Cleveland. He strikes out 12 in pitching a two-hit shutout, with Orlando Cabrera's 8th-inning single the first safety of the night against his overwhelming stuff.
