1930: The Philadelphia Athletics selected Spence Harris off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

1942: Two black players, Jackie Robinson and Nate Moreland, request a tryout with the Chicago White Sox during spring training in Pasadena, California. Sox manager Jimmie Dykes allows the two to work out but later dismisses them. Robinson will have to wait five years before making his major league debut.

1953: The Milwaukee Braves become the first franchise to move since 1903, when the Baltimore Orioles became the New York Highlanders. The Braves have been in Boston, MA for 77 years. In a related move, the minor league Milwaukee Brewers move to Toledo, Ohio, where they become the latest incarnation of the Toledo Mud Hens.

1957: In what is believed to be the largest offer for a player to date, Cleveland Indians general manager Hank Greenberg reject a million-dollar offer for left-handed pitcher Herb Score from Boston Red Sox GM Joe Cronin. Greenberg refuses, saying that Cleveland is interested in building for the future, not in selling its premier ballplayers. Score won 20 games in 1956 and led the American League with 263 strikeouts. Unfortunately, six weeks later,
Score will be struck in the eye by a batted ball by Gil McDougald and will win only 19 more games over the rest of his career.

1963: The Washington Senators purchased Ron Kline from the Detroit Tigers.

1964: The Chicago White Sox purchased Don Mossi from the Detroit Tigers.

1974: At Pompano Beach training camp, country singer Charley Pride plays for the Texas Rangers against pitcher Jim Palmer and the Baltimore Orioles. A former Negro League player, Pride grounds out and singles in two at-bats, as the Orioles coast, 14 - 2.

1981: All-Star catcher Carlton Fisk leaves the Boston Red Sox to sign a free agent contract with the Chicago White Sox. The five-year pact will pay Fisk $2.9 million.

1985: Commissioner Peter Ueberroth reinstates Hall of Fame members Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle, who had been banned from association with organized baseball by former commissioner Bowie Kuhn due to their employment by Atlantic City casinos. Ueberroth's ruling will allow both men to pursue employment with major league teams.

1986: The Detroit Tigers released Doug Flynn.

1990: Major league players and owners reach a new collective bargaining agreement that will end the 32-day lockout of spring training camps. Highlights of the deal include increasing the clubs' contributions to the players' pension fund, raising the major league minimum salary to $100,000, and a compromise on salary arbitration that leaves 17 percent of players with between two and three years of major league experience eligible.

The effect of the three-batter minimum is being underrated.
The league will survive the change, of course, but you can?t deny the large effect it will have.

March 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1871: Joseph Jerome (Joe) "Iron Man" McGinnity is born in Cornwall Township, Henry County, Illinois. A right-handed pitcher, McGinnity will gain notoriety by winning both ends of doubleheaders, and in 1903, he will pull off the feat three times in a single month, winning all six games. In a ten-season major league career, he will amass 246 wins, including 31 in 1903, 35 in 1904, and seven seasons with 20-plus wins. McGinnity will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1946.

1902: Deacon McGuire jumped from the Brooklyn Superbas to the Detroit Tigers.

1927: Don Richard (Richie) Ashburn is born in Tilden, Nebraska. A five-time All-Star, Ashburn will be a solid center fielder and a solid hitter for the Philadelphia Phillies. He will hit over .300 during 9 of his 15 major league seasons, twice capturing the National League batting title and conclude his career with a .308 lifetime average. Following his playing career, he will call Phillies games for more than three decades. Ashburn will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the Special Veterans Committee in 1995.

1951: Detroit Tigers player representative Fred Hutchinson asks that players be allowed a say in choosing the new baseball commissioner.

1961: The Boston Red Sox announce that rookie Carl Yastrzemski will start the regular season in left field, succeeding the legendary Ted Williams. Yastrzemski will remain a fixture in the Red Sox's lineup for the next 23 years.

1965: John Henry (Pop) Lloyd dies in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at the age of 80. Considered one of the best black players of the deadball era, Lloyd was a line drive hitter whose extraordinary skills at shortstop drew favorable comparisons to Honus Wagner. From 1906 through 1931 he played for 12 Negro League teams, primary with the New York Lincoln Giants. Lloyd later became a player-manager, and was given the affectionate nickname, "Pop," by the young players he mentored. Lloyd will be elected to the Hall of Fame by the by Negro Leagues Committee in 1977.

1974: In a five-player three-team deal involving the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees, pitcher Jim Perry joins his pitching brother, Gaylord, in Cleveland. Detroit sends Perry to Cleveland and Ed Farmer to the Yankees, who send Jerry Moses to Detroit, and Cleveland sends Rick Sawyer and Walt Williams to the Yankees.

1984: The Detroit Tigers purchased Scotti Madison from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1995: The Detroit Tigers signed Dwayne Henry as a free agent.

1999: The Detroit Tigers released Alejandro Freire.

2019: The Angels sign OF Mike Trout to a ten-year extension that will pay him $426.5 million through 2030. This represents the largest contract ever and just about ensures that the greatest player in franchise history will spend his entire career as an Angel.
