2012: The Tigers take a two games to none lead in the ALDS on Don Kelly's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 9th which scores Omar Infante to close a 5 - 4 win over Oakland.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

Scott Harris officially took over yesterday after several weeks of greeting and meeting as many within the organization as he could. Yesterday, he presumably got to work making some decisions and coordinating with other departments on various projects.

Undoubtedly, Harris has one of MLB?s longest to-do lists. He will be touching every department within the organization. With some, he?ll go more in-depth. With others, he may only have time for a quick dive.

When an organization is being restructured, it?s not all going to happen in one year. Harris will focus on the areas needing the most attention while systematically digging through layers over time with other departments.

All we know right now is that he said there will be significant changes. Both he and Manager A. J. Hinch have diplomatically stated several times that no one?s job is safe. You can also probably include Paws in that statement.

Of course, Scott will have his laundry list of priorities. And there are undoubtedly many.

But which are the most important?

Which ones should he tackle first?

Which ones, if addressed first, will positively influence and create changes in the other areas needing attention?

What do you think?

Today, I?ve put together a list of 5 hot-button areas needing attention. By all means, this is not a complete list but a substantial one. And I guarantee that every one of you will find the issue you feel is most pressing.

Your assignment?

Tell us which one ( to paraphrase Sean Connery?s infamous line ?1 point only.?) of these 5 is the most important one to prioritize and why.

Drafting system
Front Office personnel
Medical/training/conditioning
Player development
Roster revamp
Next week, I?ll report on the results.
 
As expected, the Detroit Tigers started making some changes. They removed hitting coaches Scott Coolbaugh and Mike Hessman. Mike will be reassigned to player development.

Until Hinch came along, the Tigers Front Office made the majority of coach hirings. Today's release of some coaches obviously involved Hinch but he almost certainly coordinated to some extent with new PoBO Scott Harris.

Gary Jones will stay in a different position TBD. Alfredo Amezaga, 1B coach in Toledo, got an audition in Detroit and stays. So does hitting coach Adam Melhuse who will interview for the same position.

October 8 in Tigers and mlb history:

1886: The Detroit Wolverines beat the Philadelphia Quakers 11-0 for their 87th win (against 36 losses). It's a franchise record they won't exceed even in their National League championship season the following year.

1887: The Detroit Wolverines finish 79-45 to win their first and only National League championship. The team had Hall of Famers; Dan Brouthers, Sam Thompson, Deacon White, and Ned Hanlon.

1887: Donie Bush born in Indianapolis. Tigers SS 1908-21. His 52 SB was AL rookie record till 1992. Led Tigers in OBP in 1909 WS.

1904: Jimmy Barrett becomes 1st MLB player to play 162 games in a season. Tigers had 154-game schedule but 10 ties.

1907: Tigers play their 1st-ever World Series game, in Chicago. Game ends in 3-3 tie after 12 innings.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuLdVWKWYAAakgD.jpg

1908: The Chicago Cubs win the National League pennant when Mordecai Brown beats Christy Mathewson 4 - 2, in the replay of the disputed game of September 23rd when Fred Merkle failed to touch second base.

1909: World Series - Panoramic look at the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers. Immortals square off, Honus Wagner vs Ty Cobb.

1909: Pirates win Game 1 of the World Series at Forbes Field, 4-1. The Tigers jump out to a 1-0 lead in the first but Fred Clarke ties it with a home run in the 4th. Rookie Babe Adams gets the start and holds the Tigers to 6 hits. Honus Wagner goes 1-for-3 with a double.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dow81JpW...g&name=900x900

1911: Ty Cobb finishes the season with a batting average of .420. Only two players have matched that mark since (George Sisler, .420 in 1922, Rogers Hornsby, .424 in 1924). Cobb also leads the American League in Runs 147, Hits 248, Doubles 47, Triples 24, RBI 127, Stolen Bases 83, Slugging .621 OPS 1.088 OPS+ 196, and Total Bases 367.

1915: The Philadelphia Phillies win their first-ever World Series game behind Grover Cleveland Alexander, 3 - 1. Boston Red Sox rookie Babe Ruth grounds out as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning of the opener. Ruth will sit out the rest of the Series, and the Phillies won't win another game in the Fall Classic until Game 1 of the 1980 World Series.

1919: Ed Cicotte pitches Game 7 of the World Series, and the Chicago White Sox play like they mean it. Joe Jackson and Happy Felsch drive in two runs each for a 4 - 1 win to cut the Cincinnati Reds' lead to four games to three in the best-of-nine Series.

1927: In Game 4 of the World Series, facing elimination at Yankee Stadium, the Pirates are tied with the Yankees, 3 - 3, in the bottom of the 9th inning. Reliever Johnny Miljus fans Lou Gehrig and Bob Meusel with the bases loaded, but a two-strike wild pitch to Tony Lazzeri allows Earle Combs to score the winning run for the Yankees and capture the World Series.

1927: In Game 5 of the Colored World Series between the Chicago American Giants and the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, southpaw Luther Farrell pitches a seven-inning no-hitter for the Bacharachs. As a drizzle falls throughout the game and heavier rain constantly threatens, Farrell no-hits his former team to give the Bacharachs their first win and stave off elimination. Allowing an unearned run in both the 4th and 5th innings, he finishes strongly, retiring the last seven men he faces. The home plate umpire calls the game in the middle of the 7th on account of darkness. Chicago protests his decision, but to no avail.

1930: George Earnshaw finishes off the Cardinals, 7 - 1, to win the World Series for the Philadelphia Athletics. Earnshaw is clearly the pitching star of the Series with two victories and a 0.72 ERA.

1934: Daffy Dean outduels Schoolboy Rowe and hits the game-winning RBI: Cardinals win 4-3 to force Game 7 in the World Series.

1940: With only one day off, Bobo Newsom comes back for the Tigers and nearly has enough to win Game Seven of the World Series. Cincinnati Reds Paul Derringer gives up seven hits in the first six innings but sets the Tigers down in order in the final three frames for the 2 - 1 win, giving the Reds the Series.
Thousands of fans greet the Tigers at Michigan Central Station after the tough Game 7 loss in Cincinnati.

1945: Hank Greenberg's solo home run ties the game in the 7th inning, but the Cubs win in the 12th on a Stan Hack walk-off double to force Game 7 of the World Series.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuRvSqCUsAAqBZD?format=jpg&name=900x900

1956: Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitches the only perfect game in World Series history for a 2 - 0 triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Sal Maglie, the opposing pitcher, gives up five hits.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBMLimEW...g&name=360x360

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fefrhk9XEAAls2W?format=jpg&name=small
Babe Pinelli is the home plate umpire for Don Larsen's perfect game. Pinelli was the starting third baseman on the 1920 Tigers.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvDe4VYW...g&name=360x360

1958: In Game 6 of the World Series, the New York Yankees pull even against the Milwaukee Braves as Hank Bauer hits his fourth home run of the Series and New York wins in 10 innings, 4 - 3.

1961: The New York Yankees' Whitey Ford sets a World Series record for consecutive scoreless innings by extending his streak to 32 innings in a 7 - 0 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds in Game 4. The mark had previously been held by Babe Ruth.

1972: In Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, Bert Campaneris, an all-time rotten bastard scumbag for the ages, of the Oakland Athletics throws his bat at Detroit Tigers pitcher Lerrin LaGrow after being hit by a pitch.
Both players are ejected and Campaneris is suspended for the rest of the series. Tigers manager Billy Martin has to be restrained by several Tigers players and umpires from going after campaneris.

1974: The Detroit Tigers released Ike Brown.

1978: Two of the most beloved Tigers in team history, Hall of Famer Alan Trammell and '76 Rookie of the Year Mark Fidrych.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EGVfREZU...jpg&name=small

1982: The Detroit Tigers released Rick Peters.
1982: The Detroit Tigers released Jerry Turner.

1984: Off day. World Series starts tomorrow in San Diego.
San Diego native Alan Trammell returns home: #Relive84

1985: The Detroit Tigers released Bob Stoddard.

1987: Tigers take 2-0 lead before Twins score 6 runs off Jack Morris to win Game 2 of the ALCS. Chet Lemon goes 2-for-4 with a home run. Ex-Tiger Juan Berenguer gets the save.

1993: The Detroit Tigers released Dave Johnson.

2004: The Detroit Tigers selected Colby Lewis off waivers from the Texas Rangers.

2008: Francis Beltran of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

2011: The Texas Rangers take the first game of the 2011 ALCS over the Detroit Tigers with a rain-soaked 3 - 2 win over ace Justin Verlander in Arlington. They score two early runs against the 24-game winner; one on a solo homer by Nelson Cruz in the 4th, before Verlander leaves after a 5th-inning rain delay. Rangers starter C.J. Wilson who has to depart early, but five relievers allow only a hit and a walk in the last 4 1/3 innings; Alexi Ogando, the man they call wart face, is the winner.

2013: Frank Tanana throws out the first pitch at Comerica Park before Game 4 of the ALDS.

2013: The ALDS will require a decisive 5th game after the Tigers defeat the Athletics, 8 - 6, in Game 4. Facing elimination, Detroit manager Jim Leyland uses ace starter Max Scherzer in relief in the 7th; he allows a run in that inning but escapes a none out, bases loaded jam in the 8th while his teammates score 5 runs over those two innings to give him the win.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1480638828368908288

2017: With their backs to the wall in Game 3 of the ALDS, the Red Sox see Houston score 3 runs off Doug Fister in the 1st, but still manage to come back to win, 10 - 3. David Price does some great work out of the bullpen with four scoreless innings, young Rafael Devers hits a two-run homer off Francisco Liriano in the 3rd to give Boston a lead, and Jackie Bradley hits a three-run shot in the 7th to put the game out of reach.

2018: The Red Sox humiliate the Yankees in Game 3 of the Division Series at New Yankee Stadium, winning 16 - 1. The Sox score 7 times in the 4th, chasing Luis Severino, to build a comfortable lead, and keep adding to it as Brock Holt hits for the cycle, becoming the first player ever to do so in a postseason game. Nathan Eovaldi pitches 7 innings for the win.

2020: Hall of Famer and New York Yankees great Whitey Ford dies a few days short of his 92nd birthday. His .690 winning percentage remains one of the best all time while he holds the record for most wins (10), starts (22) and strikeouts (94) in World Series history.

The Detroit Tigers have hired a new man for a new position ? Scott Harris as the President of Baseball Operations.

Harris has zero ties to the Tigers unlike all of the former and current Front Office executives. He has said that there will be significant changes made within the organization.

After spending several weeks, meeting everyone and gathering information, he is expected to start transforming the Tigers organization.

How excited are you about the forthcoming changes and what may happen during the off-season?

How excited are you about Scott Harris' promise to make significant changes during the off-season?
