Game ending Double Plays that went 8 - 2 Centerfielder to Catcher.
from baseball reference

game ending double plays to the center fielder, eliminated the ones that did not end with the catcher and was left with this list. (This comes from the play-by play index which is complete since 1974 and almost complete 1950-1973.) Since there were no RBI's on any of these plays included the responsible CF instead.
 
Detroit Tigers Team Notes

It was redemption weekend for the Detroit Tigers, but in truth they have won nothing.
It's too early to give Tigers manager Jim Leyland nor the front office too much of a pat on the back, but they did have a good weekend. Their moves turned out to be right.
Brandon Inge, to chagrin of many, returned to the major leagues Saturday and immediately clubbed a home run and a long, ground-rule double.
Me? I'd have played Wilson Betemit that night and kept Inge in the minor leagues until Sept. 1 when rosters are allowed to expand.
Leyland had been roundly toasted for giving Justin Verlander an extra day's rest instead of pitching him Sunday against Cleveland. The Tigers won the game, sweeping the series, and now it looks good for the Tigers tonight with Verlander on the mound to begin a tough road series at Tampa Bay.
I didn't think it was the issue many fans did, but I would have started Verlander Sunday.
It was redemption weekend in a sense, not only for Inge and Leyland, but center fielder Austin Jackson. OK, so he is not Curtis Granderson. That ship sailed a long time ago. I screamed at the top my lungs about that trade when it was made, but Jackson is a developing player who does many things well. That was a great throw to end Sunday's game.
A word of caution, though, the season is long from over. The Rays have a better record than the Tigers. They have won five in a row. Last week, their pitching staff threw three straight 3-hitters at the Red Sox powerful lineup at Fenway Park.
And don't forget, the Tigers had a 7-game lead with 26 games left after unexpectedly sweeping the Rays on the road in 2009. That was in September - and the Tigers still didn't win the A.L. Central.
Yogi Berra's saying couldn't be more correct than it is about the Tigers. "It ain't over until it's over."
That was a thrilling weekend, but there are many land mines remaining to navigate. Especially the one this week at Tampa Bay.

Thankyou Jeff and to everyone else that likes to read as much Tigers news as they can in one spot.

Tigers averaging 38,000 fans a game in 18 games since All-Star break. Fans have made Comerica Park one of the loudest ballparks in MLB.
Go Tigers!!
