"I hate to be referred to as a brute. It isn't very pleasant for a fellow to be called a rough performer and a deliberate crippler of his fellowmen. I wouldn't intentionally hurt another player for twice my salary. Let's have a little understanding about this thing ... "

Friday is the one day of the week where we open up the comment parameters for you, so you can get those juices flowing.

Comments on THIS DAY ONLY can be expanded to a maximum of 8 sentences.

We can?t wait to get your thoughts on the following topic.

Jordan Zimmermann and Christin Stewart had core muscle surgery this week. What will it take for the Tigers to finally realize they have a systemic training issue?
 
October 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1887: The 15-game, 10-city World Series between the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Wolverines comes to Pittsburgh. Detroit wins 8-0 on a 2-hitter by Charles "Lady" Baldwin.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DoxZ3t_XoAIFOL7.jpg

1903: In the eighth game, Boston wins the first modern-day World Series. Bill Dineen pitches a 3 - 0 complete game against Pittsburgh, as Deacon Phillippe hurls his fifth complete game of the Series, but takes the loss. Boston wins the best-of-nine series, five games to three.

1909: Tigers get home runs from Davy Jones and Sam Crawford but lose 8-4 to Pittsburgh, trail World Series 3-2.

1914: The Boston Braves complete a remarkable sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics, the first in World Series history. Dick Rudolph pitches a complete game 3 - 1 victory for the Braves, who were 15 games out of first place in early July.

1921: In the first "Subway Series" ever, the New York Giants defeat the New York Yankees, 1 - 0, to take the World Series, five games to three. The only run of the game scores on a 1st-inning error by Yankees shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh.

1953: The Detroit Tigers released Billy Hitchcock.
1953: The Detroit Tigers released Fred Hutchinson.
1953: The Detroit Tigers released Jerry Priddy.
1953: The Detroit Tigers released Bob Swift.

1958: The Los Angeles Dodgers sent Maury Wills to the Detroit Tigers as part of a conditional deal.

1959: The Milwaukee Braves release long-time veterans Enos Slaughter and Mickey Vernon, ending their major league careers. A future Hall of Famer who hit .300 even over an 18 year career, Slaughter hit only .171 in the season and Vernon a two time batting champ batted just .220.

1960: Bill Mazeroski of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history. Maz's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th inning against Ralph Terry of the New York Yankees gives Pittsburgh a stunning 10 - 9 win in Game 7.

1965: Mudcat Grant does it all himself, hitting a three-run home run and pitching a 5 - 1 win at Minnesota to knot the World Series with the Dodgers after six games.

1966: The Detroit Tigers traded a player to be named later, George Smith and George Thomas to the Boston Red Sox for Bill Monbouquette. The Detroit Tigers sent Jackie Moore (October 13, 1966) to the Boston Red Sox to complete the trade.

1970: In the World Series, the Baltimore Orioles win their third straight over the Cincinnati Reds, 9 - 3, with winning pitcher Dave McNally slugging a grand slam. Frank Robinson and Don Buford also hit home runs and third baseman Brooks Robinson continues his excellence on defense as he makes two spectacular grabs in the field.

1971: The Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates play the first night game in World Series history. Roberto Clemente bats three hits and rookie catcher Milt May delivers a game-winning pinch-hit in Pittsburgh's 4 - 3 comeback victory.

1984: A pair of two-run home runs by Alan Trammell of the Detroit Tigers provide all the scoring as pitcher Jack Morris beats the San Diego Padres, 4 - 2, in Game Four of the World Series. Jack Morris deals a 9 IP complete game 5 hit gem-only blemish a single shot by catcher Terry Kennedy. The Tigers are now just one win away from the title.

1995: The Detroit Tigers released Brian Bohanon.

2006: The Tigers defeat Oakland, 3 - 0, in Game 3 of the ALCS, with Kenny Rogers picking up the win. In the game, Mark Kiger makes his major league debut as a defensive substitute for the A's, becoming the first player to make his debut in the post-season since Bug Holliday in 1885.

2011: The Detroit Tigers turn to their ace, Justin Verlander, to stave off elimination in the ALCS. He limits the Texas Rangers' bats to 2 runs through seven innings, then tires and leaves in the 8th having thrown a career-high 133 pitches. With the Bengals' bullpen aces too tired to pitch, Phil Coke takes over and gets the last five outs, even though the Rangers manage to pull back 3 runs over the last two frames. Still, the Tigers had built a big lead against C.J. Wilson, with four home runs - two by Delmon Young and one each by Alex Avila and Ryan Raburn - and hang on for a 7 - 5 win. The Tigers hit for the cycle on four consecutive hits in the 6th hitting, the first team to do that in the postseason.

2012: In Game 1 of the ALCS, Raul Ibanez hits a homer to cap a game-tying four-run outburst against Tigers closer Jose Valverde in the 9th inning, but Detroit manages to overcome the psychological blow to win, 6 - 4, in 12 innings. The Yankees' Derek Jeter collects the 200th postseason hit of his career in the game - second place on the all-time list is held by his long-time teammate Bernie Williams with 128 - but he then suffers a broken ankle while fielding a ground ball in the 12th, putting him out for the rest of the postseason. Delmon Young drives in 3 runs for Detroit, including a homer in the 8th and the game-winner with a double off David Phelps, the eighth Yankee pitcher of the game.

2013: the Tigers lose a heartbreaking game at Fenway Park in the second game of the AL Championship Series. Starter Max Scherzer holds the Red Sox hitless through 5 2/3 innings and strikes out 13 in seven innings before leaving the game with a 5-1 lead. But Joaquin Benoit allows a grand slam to David Ortiz in the eight inning on a ball that eludes right fielder Torii Hunter, who falls head-first into the bullpen in pursuit. The Tigers lose in the bottom of the ninth on a single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia. The loss ties the series at one game apiece.

2017: The Detroit Tigers traded a player to be named later, and greatest Tigers pitcher all-time Justin Verlander and cash to the Houston Astros for Daz Cameron (minors), Franklin Perez (minors) and Jake Rogers. The Detroit Tigers sent Juan Ramirez (minors) (October 13, 2017) to the Houston Astros to complete the trade.

2018: The Astros benefit from some largesse from Boston's pitchers as they issue 10 walks and hit 3 batters to win Game 1 of the 2018 ALCS, 7 - 2. Four of Houston's five hits drive in at least a run, including a pair of 9th-inning homers by Josh Reddick and Yuli Gurriel that provide 4 insurance runs. Justin Verlander also temporarily loses the plate, issuing 3 walks and a wild pitch in the 5th to allow the Red Sox to tie the score at 2, before a hit batsman, an error and a well-timed two-out single by Carlos Correa off Joe Kelly puts Houston ahead to stay in the 6th.
