Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Quick hits:
Leyland raves about non-roster invite Quintin Berry's speed, saying "his legs can cause problems for a lot of people." However, Berry's big damage so far is his bat. His hot spring continued with a walk-off hit in the 10th inning to cap a two-hit game and raise his average to .438.

With starter Max Scherzer having hit his pitch count earlier than expected, big right-handed relief prospect Bruce Rondon ended up making his Grapefruit League debut by pitching the eighth. The highly-touted Venezuelan hit 100 mph on the Joker Marchant Stadium radar gun, but walked three of the four Mets hitters he faced before giving way to Brayan Villarreal. "He's got a big arm," Leyland said.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

March 15 in Tigers and mlb history :

1945: With World War II travel restrictions still in effect, the Brooklyn Dodgers open spring training at Bear Mountain, New York, with 15 players in camp. Seven teams - the St. Louis Browns, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox - are training in Indiana, the most of any state.

2010: The Major League Baseball Players Association circulates an expanded list of "dangerous contaminated supplements", which now contains 104 products. These nutritional supplements are legal but potentially contaminated, and could cause false positives under Major League Baseball's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

2011: Commissioner Bud Selig forms a 12-person committee to study the origins of baseball, with newly-appointed official historian John Thorn as its chair. The issue has been rekindled with the publication this week of Thorn's book, Baseball in the Garden of Eden, which casts doubt on the role of Alexander Cartwright in laying down the fundamental principles of the game. Ironically, Cartwright was promoted as the "real" founder of the game to counteract the unfounded legend that Abner Doubleday had laid down the first baseball diamond in Cooperstown, NY in 1839. Thorn argues that the game is in fact much older than once thought, with traces found in 18th century records.
