June 1 in Tigers and mlb history:
1906: Women appear at the Polo Grounds ticket windows for the first time. Coincidentally, new ticket-selling machines are also introduced.
1910: The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 10 - 5, before a chilly crowd of 800 fans at the Baker Bowl. It is the 14th loss for the Phillies in their last 15 games. The Cardinals are paced by leadoff hitter Miller Huggins, who has no official at bats in six plate appearances, the first time this has ever happened in major league history. Huggins walks in his first three at-bats, hits a sacrifice fly and a sacrifice bunt in the next two, and walks with the bases loaded in the eighth inning to drive in the lead run. At the end of the season, Huggins will lead the National League with 116 walks.
1917: Hank Gowdy of the Boston Braves became the first major leaguer to enlist in World War I. Gowdy will also serve in World War II.
1923: Scoring in every inning, the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies at the Baker Bowl, 22 - 8. It is the first time in 20th century a team has scored in every inning.
1925: Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees pinch-hits for Pee Wee Wanninger, beginning his streak of playing in 2,130 consecutive games. The next day, first baseman Wally Pipp shows up with the after-effects of a concussion, and Gehrig takes over.
1940: Ted Williams is reported to want a trade to the Tigers.

1941 - Mel Ott hits a two-run home run, the 400th of his major league career and his 1,499th and 1,500th RBI, helping the New York Giants to a 3 - 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
1955 - Duke Snider hits three home runs at Ebbets Field, helping the Brooklyn Dodgers to an 11 - 8 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The Dodgers also set a franchise record with six home runs.
1958: Al Kaline homered to lead off the bottom of the second inning against Chicago’s Ray Moore but the game was rained out after 3 1/3 innings. This homer would have given Kaline 400 for his career.
