May 5 in Tigers history:

1922 - Facing the Detroit Tigers, Bill Bayne of the St. Louis Browns pitches a no-hitter into the ninth inning. Detroit manager Ty Cobb then sends up five straight pinch hitters, the first of whom breaks up the no-hitter. One of the pinch hitters Cobb inserts is Bob Fothergill, who bats for him and strikes out, becoming the only man ever to pinch hit for Cobb. The Browns win 6 - 1.

1949 - Charlie Gehringer, star second baseman of the Detroit Tigers between 1926 and 1942, is selected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America with 159 votes on 187 ballots. "The Mechanical Man" will lead the league in runs (2), hits (2), Doubles (2), Triples, and Batting Title of .371 in 1937 while winning the AL MVP.
Gehringer's offensive and defensive play earned him accolades as one of the top 3 or 5 greatest second basemen in Baseball History.
