September 22 in Tigers and mlb history:
1911 - Cy Young, at age 44, beats the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1 - 0, for his 511th and final major league victory.
1912: At Sportsman's Park against the Browns, Eddie Collins becomes the only player in major league history to steal six bases in one game for a second time. The Philadelphia Athletics' second baseman's feat of thievery has yet to be surpassed. It will be 79 years until another major leaguer, Otis Nixon, even ties Collins' mark.
1924: Charlie Gehringer makes his major league debut as a defensive replacement in the Tigers 9 - 1 win over the red sox.
1927: Tigers lose to the Yankees 8 - 7 on a walk-off home run by Babe Ruth, his 56th of the season on way to a record 60 home runs.
1936: The Detroit Tigers sweep the St. Louis Browns, 12 - 0 and 14 - 0, to record the biggest double shutout in major league history. Elden Auker and Tommy Bridges each pitch shutouts.
Game one the Tigers pound out 18 hits, three each from 2B Charlie Gehringer, C Birdie Tebbetts, and CF Al Simmons who also had 5 rbi. In the second game, of the 17 hits, 7 different Tigers had 2 hits apiece, with LF Pete Fox driving in 5 runs.
1950: A walk-off loss in Cleveland on a Joe Gordon home run off Hal Newhouser bounces the Tigers from first place for good. They won't return to contention until 1961.
1953: At Briggs Stadium, Rookie Al Kaline makes his first start at The Corner, collecting a single while playing centerfield in a 7-3 loss to the St. Louis Browns.
1967: Tigers sweep a doubleheader in Washington 8 - 3 and 4 - 0 to stay one game behind the Twins. Earl Wilson gets his league-leading 22nd win and Mickey Lolich pitches a 4-hit complete game.
1969: Willie Mays hits the 600th home run of his career. The historic homer off Mike Corkins of the Padres proves to be the game-winner in a 4 - 2 Giants victory at San Diego Stadium.
1977: The Chicago White Sox selected Bob Molinaro off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.
1984: Tigers beat Yankees 6-0. Dan Petry pitches a 4-hit CG. Chet Lemon hits a 3-run HR. Tigers' record is 99-55.
1987: Wade Boggs of the Boston Red Sox reaches the 200 hit mark for the fifth straight season in an 8 - 5 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
1987: The Cubs send Dickie Noles to the Tigers for a "player to be named later"...a month later he was sent back.
1993: Pitcher Nolan Ryan of the Texas Rangers faces just three Seattle batters before hurting his right elbow in what turns out to be the last appearance of his career. Ryan finishes with 324 wins, 5,714 strikeouts and seven no-hitters.
2000: The Detroit Tigers selected Eric DuBose off waivers from the Cleveland Indians.
2003: Detroit sets an American League record with its 118th loss, falling 12 - 6 to Kansas City. The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics (36-117) had held the record.
2015: Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra, winner of three MVP Awards who also holds the all-time record by playing in 14 World Series, passes away at age 90. He is just as famous for his aphorisms, and one of them is appropriate for the occasion: "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."
2016: In game 2 of a doubleheader the Tigers score on a wild pitch on an intentional walk and Justin Verlander wins his 15th of the season.
