November 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1914: Hall of Fame outfielder Joe DiMaggio is born in Martinez, California. The son of Italian immigrants, DiMaggio will make his major league debut in 1936 after starring in the Pacific Coast League and will spend his entire big league playing career with the New York Yankees.

1930: The Sporting News, acting to fill the Most Valuable Player void, announces its selection of New York Giants first baseman Bill Terry as the MVP in the National League, and Washington Senators shortstop Joe Cronin in the American League.

1941: With only three years of major league experience, shortstop Lou Boudreau is named as the Cleveland Indians' manager. At the age of 24 years, four months, and eight days, Boudreau becomes the youngest skipper to pilot a team in the 20th century.

1944: Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first Major League Baseball Commissioner, dies of a heart attack at age 78 in Chicago. Landis had ruled over baseball since November 1920 in the wake of the Black Sox scandal, and wielded authority perhaps unparalleled in any other industry. Landis had entered the hospital on October 2nd. He will be elected to the Hall of Fame on December 9th in a special ballot.

1949: Ted Williams, who lost the Triple Crown when his batting average was .0002 below that of George Kell, wins the American League MVP Award vote in a landslide. Phil Rizzuto and Joe Page finish second and third in the voting.

2002: The Detroit Tigers traded Randall Simon to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later and Adrian Burnside (minors). The Pittsburgh Pirates sent Roberto Novoa (December 16, 2002) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.

2002: The Boston Red Sox hire 28-year-old Theo Epstein as their new general manager. Epstein, a life-time Red Sox fan who grew up about a mile away from Fenway Park, becomes the youngest GM in major league history.

2004: After spending $67 million to acquire its former president's shares of the Seattle Mariners, Nintendo's U.S. subsidiary now owns more than 50 percent of the franchise. Due to the presence of superstar Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle is one of the favorite major league teams in Japan.

2005: The cost-cutting Florida Marlins finalize their big trade with the New York Mets, sending slugger Carlos Delgado to New York for first baseman Mike Jacobs and prospects pitcher Yusmeiro Petit and infielder Grant Psomas. The Mets will also receive $7 million from the Marlins to help cover the $48 million Delgado is owed over the next three seasons.

2005: The Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago White Sox complete their deal that sends slugger Jim Thome and cash to Chicago for center fielder Aaron Rowand. Philadelphia also gets two minor leaguers.

HONORING A GREAT.
Totally Tigers

Earlier this week, Tiger great Willie Hernandez passed away.

He was best known for his stellar pitching back in 1984 that included a 1.92 ERA, winning both the Cy Young Award and MVP. Just 1 of 11 (including Justin Verlander) pitchers in baseball history to do that.

Hernandez was only 1 of 3 hurlers to win both awards and the World Series in the same year, joining Sandy Koufax and Denny McLain.

Today, we honor him by opening up this blog for readers to share their thoughts, memories and experiences of watching him on the mound.
 
It has been a tough few years for Carson Kelly, as injuries and a lack of performance have sidetracked the career of the former top prospect and seeming breakout catcher during his days with the Cardinals and Diamondbacks.

Kelly signed with the Tigers after being released by the D?Backs in August, and the catcher will be staying in Motown as Jake Rogers? backup after the Tigers exercised their $3.5MM club option on his services for 2024.

With his immediate future now secure, Kelly tells Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press that the next step is to spend the offseason fixing his swing mechanics, as well as working on catching from a one-knee stance as opposed to a traditional crouch. ?It?s for stealing strikes at the bottom of the zone, and I?m already in a better position to block?.It just puts me in a better position to react to wherever the ball is,? Kelly said.

November 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: Hall of Famer Lefty Gomez was born this day in Rodeo, CA.

1935: The National League takes over the bankrupt last-place Boston Braves franchise after several failed attempts to buy the club. The league takes over only temporarily, until matters can be straightened out.

1948: National League president Ford Frick steps in and pays $350 for funeral services, including the cost of a coffin, for the unclaimed body of Hack Wilson. The former slugger, who had died probably of alcohol abuse a few days earlier in a Baltimore hospital, is identified only as a white male.

1950: The Gillette Safety Razor Co. signs a six-year deal, worth an estimated $6 million, with Major League Baseball for the TV-radio rights for the World Series.

1958: The American League MVP is Boston Red Sox slugger Jackie Jensen, winning over Yankees pitcher Bob Turley and Indians outfielder Rocky Colavito.

1960: The relocated American League team in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul chooses the nickname "Twins" to represent its franchise. The Twins recently moved from Washington, DC, where they were known as the "Senators."

1961: The Professional Baseball Rules Committee votes 8-1 against legalizing the spitball. Only National League supervisor of umpires Cal Hubbard votes in favor.

1962: The Houston Colt .45's drafted Conrad Cardinal from the Detroit Tigers in the 1962 first-year draft.
1962: The Detroit Tigers drafted Tommy Matchick from the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1962 first-year draft.
1962: The Minnesota Twins drafted Rich Reese from the Detroit Tigers in the 1962 first-year draft.

1962: The Baltimore Orioles traded Whitey Herzog and Gus Triandos to the Detroit Tigers for Dick Brown.

1962: American League batting champ Pete Runnels (.326) is traded by the Boston Red Sox to the Houston Colt .45s for outfielder Roman Mejias. After that, the Texas native will only hit .252 in Houston next season and will retire in May of 1964.

1963: Second baseman Pete Rose is a landslide winner of National League Rookie of the Year honors, taking 17 of 20 votes. Rose becomes the second Cincinnati Reds player to win the award, after Frank Robinson.

1974: Catfish Hunter meets with Oakland Athletics owner Charlie Finley in the American Arbitration Association office in New York City for a hearing to determine the validity of Hunter's breach-of-contract claim. Hunter contends that Finley failed to pay $50,000, half of Hunter's salary, to a life insurance fund. The case will go to arbitration.

1975: Boston Red Sox center fielder Fred Lynn becomes the first rookie ever to be named American League Most Valuable Player. Lynn, who batted .331 with 21 home runs, 105 RBI, and league-leading figures in runs (103), doubles (47), and slugging percentage (.566), helped Boston to the American League East title. He also won Rookie of the Year honors.

1980: Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt, who hit .286 with career highs of 48 home runs and 121 RBI, is a unanimous choice as National League Most Valuable Player.

1990: The Detroit Tigers signed John Shelby as a free agent.

1996: Less than three weeks after major league owners voted 18-12 against ratification of baseball's new collective bargaining agreement, owners vote again and this time approve it by a vote of 26-4. The landmark agreement brings interleague play to the regular season for the first time, as well as revenue sharing among owners and a payroll tax on players.

1996: The Detroit Tigers signed Marino Santana as a free agent.

1999: Arbitrator Alan Symonette rejects the owners' attempt to dismiss the umpires' grievance, giving the 22 umps booted as a result of last season's disastrous mass resignation strategy a chance to get their jobs back. Symonette will hear the grievance beginning December 13th.

2003: The Detroit Tigers signed Andy Barkett as a free agent.

2004: Receiving 21 of the 28 first-place votes, Vladimir Guerrero (.337, 39 HR, 126 RBI) wins the American League MVP Award. The 28-year old former Expos outfielder signed as a free agent with the Angels, after the Mets refused to guarantee his salary based on advice from their medical staff.

2009: New York Yankees Public Address announcer Bob Sheppard officially retires at the age of 99. Known as the "Voice of God," Sheppard had been the Yankees PA announcer from 1951 to 2007 before his deteriorating health forced him to step down. He briefly returned in 2008 to announce the Yankees lineup for the final game at the old Yankee Stadium.

2010: the Tigers sign free agent DH/catcher Victor Martinez to a four-year, $50 million contract. Martinez is a switch-hitting career .300 batter and a four-time All-Star.

2012: The Detroit Tigers signed John Lindsey as a free agent.
2012: The Detroit Tigers signed Matt Tuiasosopo as a free agent.

2012: Postseason shares as announced, and the members of the World Champions Giants receive a record $377,022.64 each for their role in winning the title. Even discredited OF Melky Cabrera, suspended after a positive test for PEDs and kicked off the team before its run to the title, gets a full share because of a rule in the collective bargaining agreement. Members of the Detroit Tigers receive $284,274.50 each, the second-highest total for a runner-up.

2018: The notoriously young Braves, who featured two of the three youngest regulars in the majors in 2018 in Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies, add some experience in planning a run for the big prize in 2019 by signing veteran free agents Josh Donaldson and Brian McCann to one-year deals. The 35-year-old McCann is a native of Georgia who spent his first nine seasons with the Braves, making this a true homecoming.

For this day only, a maximum of 6 sentences please.
 
Tigers sign right-hander Kenta Maeda to two-year contract.

Gives the Tigers a much needed veteran presence.

First Japanese pitcher in Detroit since Hideo Nomo in 2002.
 
November 27 in Tigers and mlb history:

1910: The touring Detroit Tigers, with Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford in the lineup, play an exhibition game in Havana, Cuba. With George Mullin pitching, the Tigers beat Almendares, 4 - 0.

1941: Joe DiMaggio is named American League Most Valuable Player. His 56-game hitting streak edges out Ted Williams and his .406 batting average for the award (291 points for DiMaggio and 254 for Williams).

1947: Triple Crown winner Ted Williams (.343, 32 HR,162 RBI) is edged out by Joe DiMaggio (.315, 20, 97) for the American League MVP Award by one point. One BBWAA member fails to include Williams anywhere on his ballot.

1950: The Boston Red Sox sign veteran shortstop Lou Boudreau to a two-year contract worth an estimated $150,000. Boudreau, a player-manager for the Cleveland Indians, had asked Cleveland to give him his unconditional release after 13 years with the club.

1953: Cleveland Indians third baseman Al Rosen is unanimously named the American League Most Valuable Player with a record 336 votes. In the National League, Brooklyn Dodgers catcher Roy Campanella received the honor.

1955: The Detroit Tigers drafted Joe Presko from the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1955 rule 5 draft.
1955: The Detroit Tigers drafted Hal Woodeshick from the New York Giants in the 1955 minor league draft.
1955: The Brooklyn Dodgers drafted Ken Rowe from the Detroit Tigers in the 1955 minor league draft.

1956: Don Newcombe (27 wins, 3.06 ERA), pitcher for the National League pennant-winning Brooklyn Dodgers, becomes the first Cy Young Award winner. Only one pitcher will be selected each season for this prestigious pitching award until 1967 when each league will name a winner.

1961: The Chicago White Sox again trade fan favorite Minnie Mi?oso, this time to the St. Louis Cardinals for OF/1B Joe Cunningham.

1962: The Detroit Tigers traded Ron Nischwitz and Gordon Seyfried to the Cleveland Indians for Bubba Phillips.

1963: Chicago White Sox pitcher Gary Peters edges teammate third baseman Pete Ward and Minnesota Twins outfielder Jimmie Hall for American League Rookie of the Year honors.

1971: Happy Birthday to Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez born this day in Manat?, Puerto Rico.

1974: Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspends New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for two years as a result of Steinbrenner's conviction for illegal campaign contributions to Richard Nixon and others.

1981: The Detroit Tigers trade OF Steve Kemp to the Chicago White Sox for OF Chet Lemon.

1984: The American League Gold Glove team is announced, and it is made up of the same nine players as the 1983 team: catcher Lance Parrish, first baseman Eddie Murray, second baseman Lou Whitaker, third baseman Buddy Bell, shortstop Alan Trammell, outfielders Dwight Evans, Dave Winfield and Dwayne Murphy, and pitcher Ron Guidry.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DtA2P5DXoAAoqf7.jpg

1995: The Free Press shows the proposed site for the new Tigers ballpark at Grand Circus & Second.
The initial proposed site for a new @tigers downtown ballpark would have placed it west of Woodward...eliminating Cass Ave from Adams St to I-75 in the process.

1997: Hall of Famer Buck Leonard dies at the age of 90. Regarded as one of the greatest players in Negro Leagues history, Leonard starred for the powerhouse Homestead Grays, who won nine consecutive pennants. Leonard consistently ranked among the league leaders in home runs and won a batting title in 1948.

2000: The Detroit Tigers released Erik Hiljus.

2011: New Houston Astros owner Jim Crane decides to clean house in the front office with the team coming off the worst season in franchise history. Both team President Tal Smith and GM Ed Wade get the axe. The new President is George Postolos, while assistant GM Dave Gottfried takes over for Wade on an interim basis while a search for a permanent replacement begins.

2012: Marvin Miller, who served as head of the Major League Baseball Players Association from 1966 to 1983, dies at 95. A veteran union organizer from the steel industry, Miller made the union highly powerful, leading to the first collective bargaining agreement in professional sports in 1968 and other breakthroughs such as salary arbitration and free agency in the 1970s.
These advances required a number of strikes, which made Miller a vilified figure among owners. Lingering bitterness explains while Miller failed to secure election to the Hall of Fame by a small margin in recent years and was finally voted into the HOF posthumously.
