February 2 in Tigers and mlb history:

1876: The National League is formed in New York City at the instigation of William Hulbert, owner of the Chicago White Stockings, in reaction to the lack of central direction in the fledgling National Association. The new circuit will field eight teams in its inaugural season and will become the blueprint for professional team sports in North America.

1936: Ty Cobb is named to the inaugural class of baseball's Hall of Fame with more votes than any other former player.
Georgian Gets 222 Votes, 4 Short of Perfect Score and 7 More Than Ruth and Wagner.
Mathewson and Johnson Only Others With Enough Ballots to Be Named in Nation-Wide Poll.

1936: The Baseball Writers Association of America announces the results of the first Hall of Fame vote. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner comprise the inaugural class of Hall of Fame members. Several other stars like Cy Young fail to make the grade, but will enter the Hall in later elections.

1978: Day of Infamy: The San Diego Padres signed Mickey Lolich as a free agent.

1987: The Detroit Tigers signed Nate Snell as a free agent.

1989: Former All-Star first baseman Bill White is elected president of the National League. White succeeds Chub Feeney, becoming the first African-American to be named president of either league and the highest-ranking black executive in the four major sports.

Ty Cobb.
The atmosphere reels - and it isn't the comet -
There follows the blur of a phantom at play;
Then out from the reel comes the glitter of steel -
And damned be the fellow that gets in the way.
- Grantland Rice, COBB

TigsTown Bourbon and Baseball BS Podcast: The Polar Vortex Rant. 105 minutes.

On the latest podcast, Paul gets sidetracked in the first minute by people that didn't want their homes at 65 degrees, while Mark has no idea what he'd do with his life if he weren't writing about baseball. Beyond their personal problems, Paul and Mark discuss a few key spring training battles and who we think is the favorite to win each job, a number of prospects ranked in the teens and 20's in the Top 50, and a listener question on when the Tigers will turn their focus to winning again.

More details on the topics covered;
Paul can't fathom how people were so stubborn that they refused to turn down their thermostats, despite the urgent warnings and risk of not being able to maintain gas service.

Mark is perplexed about a question of what he'd do if he didn't start writing about baseball 15 years ago.

Niko Goodrum had a good 2018 season, and still might lose his job to Dawel Lugo.

It's put-up-or-shut-up time for JaCoby Jones and Christin Stewart in the outfield.

Mark and Paul are still divided on Daniel Norris - Paul unreasonably thinks he can still be a #3 starter, Mark would rather start the worst pitcher in baseball last year.

Derek Hill - a poor and rich man's version of JaCoby Jones.

Alex Faedo - will he ever find his CWS form again?

Carlos Guzman - a name no one is paying attention to that West Michigan fans are going to be talking up a lot come spring.

When will the rebuild end? Paul thinks 2021, Mark doesn't see it until 2023.

February 3 in Tigers and mlb history:

1886: Albert Spalding begins a sporting goods company with $800. He will become the manufacturer of the first official baseball as well as the tennis ball, basketball, golf ball, and football.

1920: A meeting in Kansas City results in the birth of the Negro National League. Chicago American Giants owner Rube Foster spearheads the formation of the league, which will consist of eight franchises: Chicago Giants, Cuban Stars, Dayton Marcos, Detroit Stars, Indianapolis ABCs, Chicago American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs and St. Louis Giants.

1920: The Detroit Stars become a charter member of the new Negro National League.

1934: The St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns decide to cease broadcasting home games. The teams hope the move will result in better attendance at their shared ballpark.

1942: Major League owners hold a meeting to discuss regulations to be used during World War II. The owners decide to have each team play 14 night games, except for the Washington Senators, who will be permitted 21 games under the lights at Griffith Stadium. Two All-Star Games will be played, one with a military All-Star team. Curfews are set for night games with no inning to start after 12:50 A.M.

1971: MLB Commissioner and Huge Shithead Bowie Kuhn announces former Negro League players will have a separate wing in the Hall of Fame. Due to the controversy the announcement causes, it is decided inclusion in regular Hall of Fame is more fitting and more of an honor for the former black players.

1975: Billy Herman, Earl Averill and Bucky Harris are selected for the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee.

1976: The St. Louis Cardinals purchased Tom Walker from the Detroit Tigers.

1977: The Special Committee on the Negro Leagues elects Martin Dihigo and shortstop Pop Lloyd to the Hall of Fame. Dihigo, a dominant pitcher born in Cuba, also was a infielder and outfielder from 1923 to 1945. Lloyd, a standout shortstop and dangerous hitter, played in the Negro Leagues from 1906 to 1932.

1991: The 12 members of the board of directors of the Hall of Fame vote unanimously to ban Pete Rose from the ballot. Rose will become eligible again only if the commissioner reinstates him by December, 2005 - which will not happen.

1993: The Detroit Tigers signed Luis Garcia as an amateur free agent.

1998: Demolition of the downtown YMCA begins, to make way for Comerica Park.

2003: The Detroit Tigers signed Kevin Witt as a free agent.

2006: Tiger Stadium hosts Bud Bowl as part of Super Bowl festivities.
When Motown hosted the #SuperBowl in 2006, Anheuser Busch rented out long vacant Tiger Stadium for the Bud Bowl. The giant, temp-controlled tent housed 2500 for concerts by Snoop Dogg & Staind. This would be the last event ever at the stadium.
