November 10 in Tigers and mlb history:
1888: In Detroit, MI, a club is organized to compete in the International Association next season to take the place of the disbanded Detroit Wolverines, fifth-place finishers this past season in the National League. The Wolverines sell off their stars, including Big Sam Thompson going to the Philadelphia Quakers, and the so-called "Big Four" Dan Brouthers and Hardy Richardson to the Boston Beaneaters and Jack Rowe and Deacon White to the Pittsburgh Alleghenys.
1947: The Boston Braves drafted Clint Conatser from the Detroit Tigers in the 1947 rule 5 draft.
1948: In a move that will give them a pitching ace for the next decade, the Chicago White Sox acquire young lefthander Billy Pierce from the Detroit Tigers for All-Star catcher Aaron Robinson. The Tigers even sweeten the deal with $10,000. Pierce will win 186 games for the White Sox over the next 13 years. Robinson will last fewer than three seasons in Detroit.
1948: The Detroit Tigers drafted Marv Grissom from Sacramento (PCL) in the 1948 rule 5 draft.
1951: In Tokyo, 50,000 fans are on hand as an American All-Star team battles a Central League All-Star team. Joe DiMaggio hits a 400-foot home run in the 8th inning to tie the game at 1 - 1, then his brother Dom laces an RBI triple in the 9th and later scores to give the Americans a 3 - 2 victory. The Americans have won 12 games and tied one.
1965: San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays, who hit .312 with 52 home runs and 112 RBI, is named National League MVP. Mays receives 224 votes to 177 for Sandy Koufax, who, pitching for the Dodgers, had a 2.04 ERA, won 26 games, allowed just 5.79 hits per nine innings, and struck out 382 batters.
1975: The Kansas City Royals release slugger Harmon Killebrew, ending a 22-year career marked by 573 home runs, good for fifth on the all-time list.
1976: The Detroit Tigers signed Al Greene as an amateur free agent.
1987: In the closest vote in Cy Young Award history, Steve Bedrosian edges Rick Sutcliffe, 57-55, to win the National League honors. Bedrosian is the third relief pitcher ever to win the award in the NL.
1988: Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser, who posted a 23-8 record with 178 strikeouts and a 2.31 ERA, is a unanimous choice as Cy Young Award winner. Hershiser becomes the ninth pitcher in National League history to win the award unanimously. He receives all twenty-four first place votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America.
1997: The Detroit Tigers signed Robert Ellis as a free agent.
1997: The Gem Theatre is moved five blocks to make way for Comerica Park.

1998: Tigers Hall of Fame pitcher Hal Newhouser dies in Detroit. Newhouser won the Most Valuable Player Award in both 1944 and 1945, leading the Tigers to the World Series title the latter year. The lefty won 29 games in 1944 and 25 more in 1945.
2004: The Detroit Tigers signed Jason Karnuth as a free agent.
2005: The Toronto Blue Jays purchased John McDonald from the Detroit Tigers.
2006: The Tigers acquire Gary Sheffield from the Yankees in a trade in which they send three prospects Anthony Claggett, Humberto Sanchez and Kevin Whelan to New York. The veteran righthanded slugger spends two years with the Tigers, hitting 44 home runs primarily as their designated hitter.
