June 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906: Unable to shake the effects of diphtheria contracted in the spring‚ a frustrated Christy Mathewson throws a rare tantrum after giving up 4 runs to the Phils on 2 hits and 6 walks in the first inning‚ and umpire Bill Klem in turn throws him out of the game. Hooks Wiltse relieves and picks up a victory as New York rallies to win‚ 9 - 6.

1906: Bill Coughlin is the second Tiger within a month to steal second base‚ third base‚ and home in a game; he does this in the 7th inning against Washington during a 13 - 4 romp. Pitcher Bill Donovan did it on May 7th. Washington ties the game at 4 apiece‚ but the Tigers score 9 in the last 2 innings to win. Charley O'Leary has a homer for Detroit.
Ty Cobb would later accomplish the feat 4 times.

1915: Ty Cobb steals home in the 9th inning of 3 - 0 Detroit win‚ the only steal of home that late in a game in his career. Yankee pitcher Ray Caldwell is so angry at the safe call he throws his mitt in the air and is promptly ejected by umpire Silk O'Loughlin. It is Cobb's second steal of home while Caldwell is on the mound (the first was on May 12th‚ 1911).

1920: In St. Louis‚ the Cardinals beat the Cubs‚ 5 - 1‚ as Grover Alexander loses after 11 wins. Bill Doak is the winner and Rogers Hornsby leads the Cards' offense with 2 triples over the left fielder's head. After the game Alexander calls Hornsby "the greatest hitter I've ever had to face. I have tried to fool him every way possible‚ but it just cannot be done." Alex will be 27-14 for the 5th-place Cubs‚ and his 1.91 ERA will be the only one in the league under 2.00.

1929: Former Red Sox owner Harry Frazee dies. Frazee is forever remembered as the man who sold the Babe to the Yankees.

1935: Dizzy Dean‚ annoyed by what he perceives as poor fielding behind him‚ berates his teammates in the dugout in full view of the fans and writers. Rip Collins and Joe Medwick start arguing back and Frank Frisch and Pepper Martin step in before any fights start. Dean shows his frustration by lobbing the ball in to Pittsburgh batters and finally leaves in the 7th to a smattering of boos with the Cardinals down‚ 9 - 3. They score a pair to lose‚ 9 - 5.

1936: The Tigers score 10 runs in the 3rd and 6 in the 5th en route to a 18 - 9 thrashing of the A's. Philadelphia scores 6 in the 9th but still comes up a bit short. Mickey Cochrane belts an inside-the-park grand slam in the 3rd and collapses after running it out and is replaced. Manager Cochrane will not be in the lineup as a player until July 15. Elden Auker goes the distance for Detroit and might have had a shutout except for 4 errors. The A's misplay 6.

1937: The Boston Bees selected Gil English off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.

1938: Martin Dihigo strikes out a Mexican League-record 22 batters in a 13-inning game for the Veracruz Eagle against the Tigres de Comintra.

1940: The St. Louis Cardinals play their first night game at Sportsman's Park, against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

1944: The Detroit Tigers released Chief Hogsett.

1950: Ernie Banks makes his professional debut with the Kansas City Monarchs, going 3 for 7 in a doubleheader against the Memphis Red Sox.

1951: The Detroit Tigers signed Frank Bolling as an amateur free agent.

1953: At Chicago‚ Mickey Mantle's homer in the 4th‚ off Billy Pierce‚ gives the Yankees a 5 - 0 lead‚ but Chicago comes back to tie. Mick's leadoff single in the 10th inning ignites a New York rally‚ and they win 9 - 5.

1957: In Chicago‚ Billy Pierce of the White Sox wins, 1 - 0, in a 10-inning masterpiece before 38‚490‚ against the Red Sox.

1958: After 32 scoreless innings, the Chicago White Sox score in the 3rd, and go on to win 7 - 4 over the first-place New York Yankees. Billy Pierce is the winner, despite giving up a moon shot to Mickey Mantle that lands in the left-center field bleachers. The drive is measured at 478 feet.

1960: Detroit's Chico Fernandez strokes a 10th-inning triple against Cleveland‚ and then swipes home for the final run in a 7 - 4 win. Rocky Colavito breaks out of his slump with a solo homer in the 4th and a 2-run shot in the 10th‚ off Dick Stigman.

1964: Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers becomes the fourth major league pitcher to hurl three no-hitters by blanking the Philadelphia Phillies, 3 - 0 at Connie Mack Stadium.

1970: The Detroit Tigers drafted Chuck Seelbach in the 1st round (12th pick) of the 1970 amateur draft (June Secondary).

1984: The Detroit Tigers drafted Bobby Moore in the 29th round of the 1984 amateur draft, but was not signed.

1984: The Tigers break a 3 - 3 tie in the 10th when Dave Bergman golfs a three-run homer into the upper deck at Tiger Stadium. Bergman had fouled 7 pitches off Roy Lee Jackson before connecting. Howard Johnson has a three-run homer in the 7th to account for the other half of Detroit's scoring.

1987: The Detroit Tigers signed Bill Madlock as a free agent.

1989: Don't leave early. Toronto beats Boston, 13 - 11 in 12 innings after trailing 10 - 0 after 6. Red Sox starter Mike Smithson throws six scoreless innings before leaving in the 7th because of a foot blister. The Jays then score 2 in the 7th‚ 4 in the 8th and 5 in the 9th‚ and 2 more in the 11th on Junior Felix's home run. It is the biggest lead the Red Sox have ever blown and their 12th consecutive loss to the Blue Jays at Fenway Park.

1990: Ram?n Martinez of the Los Angeles Dodgers strikes out 18 Atlanta Braves in a three-hit 2 - 0 win. He ties Sandy Koufax's club record and is one short of the National League mark.

Bless You Boys Tigers Blog Podcast Draft Edition: Nick Quintana?s hair is magic and other thoughts on day one. 42 minutes.
The staff of Bless You Boys reviews the week in baseball from a Tigers? perspective.

Well that took bloody forever, didn?t it?

Day one of the 2019 MLB draft is finally in the books, and no the Tigers didn?t draft a hard-throwing right-hander. 1B Andrew Vaughn didn?t fall to the Tigers, but OF Riley Greene is a nice prospect to add to the mix and immediately becomes the best bat in the farm system.

There weren?t too many early surprises overall, but the Tigers offered a minor one in the second, selecting 3B Nick Quintana from the University of Arizona. Quintana had a monster junior season though struggles in the Cape Cod League last year continued to keep expectations a little short of first round talent.

Brandon Day, co-host of the BYB Podcast looks over the opening day of the draft. We?ll discuss the Tigers picks, make the best player available argument, and caution against any hasty assessments of what look like a quality pair of prospects for the Tigers in the first two rounds.
