@jonmorosi New Detroit 2B Josh Harrison plans to wear No. 1 with Tigers as a tribute to Lou Whitaker, as Harold Reynolds said this morning on MLBNetwork #HotStove.
Classy gesture by @jhay_da_man, who truly appreciates baseball history and is one of the great people in MLB.

Detroit Tigers spring training observations: 'Big 3' prospects stand out.

February 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1938: The Cardinals sign Texas Christian University All-American football star and Washington Redskins quarterback Sammy Baugh as a shortstop. He will start off with the Cards in spring training, but be assigned first to Columbus and then Rochester.

1945: At the major league meetings, the owners cancel the 1945 All-Star Game scheduled to be played at Boston's Fenway Park on July 10th. Even after the cancellation, schedule-makers leave the dates of July 9, 10 and 11 open in case circumstances change, permitting the game. In place of the All-Star Game, eight simultaneous games pitting the National League vs. the American League are to be played. Seven are played, with the 8th being cancelled.
Also approved is a rule change stating that a player needs 400 at bats to qualify for a batting title.

1957: Walter O'Malley says the Dodgers may play 10 exhibitions in California in 1958.

1984: Sparky Anderson celebrates his 50th birthday at spring training with a slice of cake. #Relive84

1989: The Detroit Tigers released Mark Huismann.

2005: Jerry Coleman, the San Diego broadcaster, is selected as the recipient of this year's Ford C. Frick Award. The 80-year old play-by-play man, who was the MVP of the 1950 World Series, has spent 41 years in the booth working for the Yankees, Angels and Padres.

2006: The Los Angeles Dodgers announce the team has extended the contract of Vin Scully through 2008. The Hall of Fame broadcaster, considered by many to be the best announcer in history, is beginning his 57th year in the Dodger organization, which is believed to be the longest tenure of any on-air individual in sports history.

2010: The Detroit Tigers signed Johnny Damon as a free agent.

2017: Major League Baseball adopts a significant rule change, as part of a strategy to speed up the game: a pitcher will no longer need to throw four pitches deliberately outside the strike zone in order to issue an intentional walk, but instead the defensive team's manager will simply need to signal his intention to the home plate umpire, who will immediately direct the batter to advance to first base. However, given that there is on average one intentional walk every 2.5 games, the change is expected to have only a minimal impact on playing time.
