Locked On Detroit Tigers Podcast. Heavy Rains, Quiet Bats, Filthy Tyler. 25 minutes.

Intense show today. Chris pays tribute to the late Jamie Samuelsen and discusses the Tigers weekend series against the Reds, which got off to a promising start and despite Tyler Alexander's historic performance, ended with a whimper thanks to two bad losses yesterday against the Reds. Chris tries to wrap his mind around why Casey Mize still isn't here.

August 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1905: The Detroit Tigers purchased Jack Warner from the St. Louis Cardinals for $1,500.
1905: The Detroit Tigers released Walt Justis.

1909: Umpire Tim Hurst instigates a riot by spitting in the face of Athletics 2B Eddie Collins, who had questioned a call. Under police guard, Hurst is ushered off the field. This incident will eventually lead to Hurst's banishment from baseball in two weeks.

1910: The Athletics' Jack Coombs and Chicago's Ed Walsh duel 16 innings to a 0 - 0 tie. Coombs gives up just three hits and strikes out 18 in what he calls his best game. Walsh gives up just six hits in 16 innings but the woeful Sox offense provides no support. Working with little rest, Walsh will win 18 of 19 starts in July, August, and September, finishing 30-9 with a 1.30 ERA. His 13 shutouts are the American League record; in 12 other games he gives up just one run.

1916: The Browns' Eddie Plank allows two hits and tops young Babe Ruth to give the Browns a 6 - 1 win over the first-place Red Sox. For the hot St. Louis Browns, it is their 14th win in a row, but the streak still leaves them in 7th place.

1925: Walter Johnson and Ty Cobb pose before a game at Griffith Stadium. Senators beat the Tigers 5-2.

1926: Stanford star fullback Ernie Nevers pitches his first complete game for the Browns, beating the A's, 3 - 1. Nevers will be 6-12 in his brief baseball career, but he will win a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame playing with the Duluth Eskimos and Chicago Cardinals (1926-1931).

1927: At Baltimore's Maryland Park, Joe Strong of the Baltimore Black Sox beats Hilldale in an Eastern Colored League game, 2 - 1, pitching an 11-inning no-hitter. It is the longest no-hitter in Negro Leagues history.

1930: At Detroit Charlie Gehringer hits a homer to center field with the bases loaded in the 12th inning to give the Tigers a 7 - 3 win over Chicago. It is Gehringer's 4th hit and 2nd homer as he drives in six runs, and Gehringer's 2nd 12th-inning homer in a month: he hit one against Cleveland on the 4th of July.

1934: The Detroit Tigers selected General Al Crowder off waivers from the Washington Senators.

1940: Jimmie Foxx, who started as a catcher in 1925, is behind the plate for the Red Sox to catch a 7 - 3 win for long-time teammate Lefty Grove. Foxx cracks his 24th home run to start the Sox on an 8-game skein in which they will hit 20 homers.

1941: The St. Louis Browns purchased Archie McKain from the Detroit Tigers.

1948: Ernie Harwell begins as an announcer for the Dodgers calling a 5 - 4 win over the Cubs. The Dodgers had to trade a player, Cliff Dapper, to the Atlanta Crackers to acquire Harwell. Brooklyn scores a pair in the 1st, one on a steal of home by Jackie Robinson.

1956: Al Kaline knocks in all 5 Tigers runs with 2 homers as the Tigers beat the yankees 5 - 4.

1961: At Candlestick Park, Warren Spahn wins his 299th game, 2 - 1, over the Giants. He gets a bit of help from Hank Aaron who leads off the 7th and 9th with homers off Mike McCormick. The Giants only score is an Orlando Cepeda homer in the 5th.

1962: Jose Arcia sent from the Houston Colt .45's to the Detroit Tigers for cash.

1967: Tigers owner John Fetzer, president of the major league television committee, announces a $50 million, 3-year deal with NBC to televise the World Series, All-Star Game, and 28 weekly telecasts.

1968: In pre-game ceremonies at Busch Stadium honoring him, Stan Musial is joined by his 1941 Cardinals teammates. A 10-foot bronze statue of Musial is unveiled at one of the Stadium entrances.

1968: Denny McLain outduels Jim Kaat for his 22nd win as the Tigers beat the Twins 2-1.

1971: Mickey Lolich fans 14, en route to a career high 308 on the season in the Tigers 2 - 1 win over the senators.

1993: OF Tony Gwynn of the Padres gets six hits in San Diego's 11 - 10 win over the Giants. It is the 4th time this season he has five or more hits in a game, tying a major league record set by Willie Keeler in 1897, and equaled by Ty Cobb and Stan Musial.

1996: Jim Bunning, Earl Weaver, Bill Foster, and Ned Hanlon are inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame.

2003: Major League Baseball announces a five-year deal, which will generate more than $500 million in revenue, for global licensing rights for apparel and headgear.
