August 7 in Tigers and mlb history:
1886: Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie was born this day in Wilkinsburg, PA.

1902: For the second time this year, Boston's Cy Young gives up 6 runs in the 1st inning and is lifted. This time, the Browns bomb him en route to a 12 - 4 victory in St. Louis. Young will complete 41 of 43 starts this year and win 32 games.
1904: The Detroit Tigers traded Charlie Carr to the Cleveland Naps for Charlie Hickman.
1906: On manager John McGraw's orders, umpire James Johnstone is refused admittance to the Polo Grounds, and the ump, standing outside the ballpark, forfeits the match to the Cubs. McGraw insists the game go on with a player from each team umpiring. McGraw picks reserve Sammy Strang, but Cubs manager Frank Chance refuses to go along, pointing out the game has already been forfeited.
1907: Senator hurler Walter Johnson wins his first major league game beating the Naps, 7 - 2. The "Big Train" will tally 416 victories during his 21-year career.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F27Vu16XIAAtyw1?format=png&name=small
1911: The match-up between Three Finger Brown and Christy Mathewson is something less than a pitching duel as Chicago bangs out 10 hits, including two singles, a double and a triple by Joe Tinker. Tinker also adds a steal of home. The Giants collect 13 hits, but Chicago wins the game, 8 - 6.
1914: Grover Cleveland Alexander (16-9) shuts out the Reds and leads the Phillies offense with four hits, including a double, and two runs scored.
1915: At Fenway Park, Smoky Joe Wood fires a one-hitter, beating Cleveland, 2 - 0. Bill Wambsganss' single is the only Cleveland hit. For Wood, it is his fifth one-hitter, and the third over regulation distance.
1920: Following an all-night drinking bout and a fight at the Lamb's Club in New York, John McGraw will be indicted for violating the Volstead (Prohibition) Act and charged with assault, but he will be acquitted. He will also be called to testify in Chicago hearings investigating gambling and bribery among players, including Hal Chase and Heinie Zimmerman.
1922: Ken Williams hits two home runs (#29 and #30) in the 6th inning, off starter George Mogridge and reliever Eric Erickson, as the Browns score nine times against Washington in a 16 - 6 win. Williams is the first to do so since the 1890s. Both homers follow doubles by Baby Doll Jacobson, also tying a major-league record, as the Browns bang out a major-league record seven extra-base hits in the frame.
1922: A record ten Pirates collect two or more hits as the Pirates tally 22 hits to pound the seventh-place Phillies, 17 - 10. The Phils knock out the Bucs ace Wilbur Cooper, scoring six runs in 2 2/3 innings, but the Pirates score eight in the 4th to take the lead. Three Pirate pitchers are 5 for 5 at the plate, including Whitey Glazner's home run, and the only Buc batter to not contribute two safeties is cleanup hitter Clyde Barnhart.
1929: For the second game in a row, Babe Ruth hits a grand slam home run as the Yanks roll to a 13 - 1 win over the A's in the lidlifter. Mickey Cochrane homers in his one at bat for the A's only run as the Yankees score 10 runs in the first two innings. George Pipgras is the winner. The A's take the nitecap, 4 - 2, as George Earnshaw goes eight innings for the win.
1930: Chet Brewer and Smokey Joe Williams duel in one of the most famous Negro League games ever. Brewer fans 19 and allows 4 hits, while Williams whiffs 25 and gives up one hit in a 12-inning, 1 - 0 victory.
1934: Dizzy Dean becomes the first pitcher to reach 20 wins this season with a 2 - 0 shutout over the Reds.
1938: Hank Greenberg hits his 38th home run. It's his first of the month and will be his last until Aug. 19, but Greenberg will still threaten Babe Ruth's record of 60, finishing with 58.
1940: A crowd of 53,997, a National League record for a night game, watches the Dodgers beat the Giants, 8 - 4, on Mel Ott Night at the Polo Grounds.
1940: The Detroit Tigers traded cash plus two players to be named to the New York Giants for Dutch Meyer.
1948: Before 66,000 fans, New York's Vic Raschi (14-4) allows four singles in stopping the Indians, 5 - 0. Joe DiMaggio has a pair of doubles, drives in three runs, and swipes home on the front end of a double steal.
1950: Three white players of the Chicago American Giants are barred by police from participating in a Negro American League doubleheader against the Birmingham Black Barons.
1951: Bobby Doerr suffers a severe sacroiliac pain that forces the future Hall of Famer into early retirement. The Red Sox regular second baseman for 13 seasons, Doerr will become a Red Sox coach.
1951: In a day-night doubleheader the Dodgers sweep a pair from the Giants, taking the first game, 7 - 2, behind the solid relief of Carl Erskine. Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Carl Furillo homer. Brooklyn takes the nitecap, 6 - 5, in 10 innings, after jumping on Sal Maglie for a 5 - 1 lead. Snider and Furillo homer again, while Bobby Thomson goes deep for the Giants. Billy Cox's RBI single wins it, giving the Dodgers an 11 1/2 game margin, the greatest lead in Brooklyn history.
1952: Umpire Bill McGowan is suspended indefinitely by the American League. In a game in St. Louis, McGowan had thrown out Tiger P Billy Hoeft, who had been heckling him from the dugout. When St. Louis writers, who have had a stormy relationship over the years with the veteran McGowan, ask him to identify the player, the umpire refuses, then adds an obscene gesture. The writers' complaint results in a suspension.
1955: After a 12-17 record in July, the Yankees are in a 4-team race. Tiger Frank Lary beats New York 4 - 2 in game one, and New York then earns a critical 3 - 2 10th-inning win on a Mickey Mantle homer off Babe Birrer.
1956: The Boston Red Sox fine Ted Williams $5,000 for spitting at Boston fans, as the Red Sox edge the Yanks in 11 innings on Williams's bases-loaded walk. It's the serial spitter's third incident in three weeks; in the words of Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey: "It's got to stop, that's all." The costly saliva salvo comes after the crowd of 36,350, a record for a night game at Fenway Park, starts booing the Splendid, but sensitive Splinter, for muffing Mickey Mantle's wind-blown fly with two out in the 11th. Immediately thereafter, the jeers turn to cheers when Williams redeems himself with a leaping grab of Yogi Berra's drive against the scoreboard. The Splinter, however, is not so easily appeased.
Thus, the fickle Fenway patrons find themselves the target of Teddy's spittle repeatedly as he makes his way towards the Red Sox dugout.
1961: The Detroit Tigers signed Willie Horton as an amateur free agent.
1963: Tigers win over the red sox 5 - 4 on a 3-run home run by Al Kaline at Tiger Stadium. Tigers set a major league record with their 12th straight errorless game.
1971: Vida Blue becomes the first 20-game winner in the major leagues this season with a 1 - 0, three-hit gem over the White Sox. Joel Horlen balks in the game's only run.
1972: Sandy Koufax is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown! At just 36 years old, the Dodgers legend becomes the youngest player to be given the honor!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F27XgA_WYAAOfq6?format=png&name=900x900
1972: Yogi Berra gives his Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech. "I guess the first thing I should do is thank everybody who made this day necessary."
1973: The Atlanta Braves selected Joe Niekro off waivers from the Detroit Tigers.
1974: Sad day in Detroit Tigers history.
1974: The Detroit Tigers sent Jim Northrup to the Montreal Expos as part of a conditional deal.
1974: The Detroit Tigers released Norm Cash.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DF08_CdXUAAKH3d.png
1976: Mark Fidrych retires his first 12 batters and goes the distance in a 6-1 win over Cleveland at #Tiger Stadium.
1978: Eddie Mathews, Addie Joss, and Larry MacPhail are inducted at Cooperstown.
1979: On his 25th birthday, after a leadoff walk by Lou Whitaker in the bottom of the 9th, Kemp hit a walk-off home run to give the Tigers a 3-1 win over the Rangers.
1982: Jim Rice goes into the stands to aid a 4-year-old boy who was struck by a line drive. After emergency surgery and five days in the hospital, the child goes on to make a full recovery. To this day, his family believes Jim Rice saved his life.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F29zvktXQAANWVh?format=jpg&name=medium
1984: Tigers get their second straight doubleheader split against the Red Sox. Game 2: Tigers 7 - Red Sox 5.
Tigers split a doubleheader. Dave Bergman scores in the 9th on an error by Bill Buckner to send the game into extra innings. Lance Parrish hits a 2-run home run in the 11th. Tigers are 74-40.
1985: A five-year agreement between the union and owners, which includes salary arbitration eligibility increasing from two years to three years, ends the two-day mid-season players' strike. The season will resume tomorrow.
1987: The Detroit Tigers traded a player to be named later and Darnell Coles to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jim Morrison. The Detroit Tigers sent Morris Madden (August 12, 1987) to the Pittsburgh Pirates to complete the trade.
1994: Jack Morris makes his final career appearance, with Cleveland.
1995: The Detroit Tigers traded Buddy Groom to the Florida Marlins for a player to be named later. The Florida Marlins sent Mike Myers (August 9, 1995) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.
1999: For the second consecutive day, a major leaguer gets his 3000th career hit as Wade Boggs homers in the 6th off the Indians' Chris Haney.
The Devil Rays' third baseman, who is the first player to reach the milestone with a home run, rounds the bases pointing skyward blowing a kiss in memory of his mom and gets down on his knees to kiss home plate.
2001: Black Betsy, Shoeless Joe Jackson's 40-ounce warped hickory bat, is won by 30-year-old businessman Rob Mitchell in a 10-day eBay auction. The $577,610 price tag is believed to be the largest amount ever paid for a baseball bat.
2002: In a historic move, major league baseball players end their long-held opposition to mandatory drug testing by agreeing to be tested for illegal steroids beginning in 2003.
2012: The Detroit Tigers released Fu-Te Ni.
2013: The Detroit Tigers released Jose Valverde.
2016: J.D. Martinez throws out Jay Bruce at home plate to win the game for the Tigers.
2016: Ichiro Suzuki of the Marlins becomes the 30th member of the 3,000 hit club with a 7th-inning triple off Chris Rusin of the Rockies in a 10 - 7 Marlins win. What makes it more remarkable is that Ichiro did not collect his first major league hit until he was 27. He is only the second player to reach the milestone with a triple.

2020: The Cardinals announce that two more of their players - OF Austin Dean and P Ryan Helsley - and an unidentified staff member have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total number of infected persons on the team to 16: 9 players and 7 staff members. They played their last game on July 29th, and their week-end series against the Cubs, scheduled to start today, is postponed as well.
2022: In his second start of the season after an injury cost him four months of action, Jacob deGrom wins his first game as he leads the Mets to a 5 - 2 win over the Braves. He is perfect until two are out in the 6th inning, when he issues a walk to Ehire Adrianza and a two-run homer to Dansby Swanson. He strikes out 12 batters as three pitchers combine for 19 Ks. The Mets complete the rare five-game series with four wins over their closest rivals and have now won 12 of 14 to increase their lead in the NL East to 6 1/2 games.
2022: Derek Law of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

Totally Tigers
This past Saturday, former manager Jim Leyland was honored at Comerica Park for his election to the Baseball Hall of Fame and the retirement of his jersey number.
Of particular note is a discussion among fans about whether it was proper to give his name and number such prominence on Comerica’s walls. Based upon the fact he never won a World Series with the Tigers like Sparky Anderson and also Mickey Cochrane who are both up on the wall.
The Tigers moved the names of Harry Heilman, Heinie Manush, Sam Crawford, Hughie Jennings, Mickey Cochrane, George Kell and Ernie Harwell further to the left, stacking them close together, 3 deep. The font size of their names is smaller and none of them have their jersey numbers listed. Some of them played before 1921 when numbers weren’t used but others did have regular jersey numbers.
Leyland’s number was put to the right, just before Sparky Anderson’s. Both the size of their names and listed numbers match those of Willie Horton, Ty Cobb (no number), Hank Greenberg, Charlie Gehringer, Hal Newhouser, Al Kaline, Jack Morris, Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker.
While Leyland does have his followers, some fans questioned the size and prominence of his name and number, considering he never won a World Series with the Tigers, as Sparky did. And the fact that he went into the Hall not choosing a team logo – when he could have picked the Tigers – made some fans upset.
What should have been the best choice for showcasing Leyland’s name and number on Comerica’s walls?
What do you think about Jim Leyland's name and jersey number being added to Comerica Park's walls?
1. Only managers who have won a World Series should have that honor.
2. His name and number should have been smaller to better reflect his contributions.
3. He deserved having the same size name and number as the all-time Tiger greats.

Tigers rookie catcher Dillon Dingler threw out Dylan Moore trying to steal second base for the second out in the third inning.His 87.5 mph throw is tied for the 17th fastest throw among all throws from MLB catchers in the 2024 season. Dingler has a cannon.

Dating back to the start of last season, Tyler Holton has been one of the baseball's most reliable relievers. Among pitchers with at least 100 appearances over that span, nobody has a lower WHIP (0.85) or OBP allowed (.233), while he ranks 3rd in OPS allowed (.527), 4th in walk rate (5.3%), 7th in ERA (2.36), and 8th in batting average against (.183).He's done this while also taking on a significant workload - ranking first among that group of 73 pitchers appearing in at least 100 games since the start of 2023 with 149 innings pitched and 569 batters faced.

On this episode: The Detroit Tigers continue to struggle on the field, but there's much to track in the final two months of the 2024 season. Will Colt Keith make a late push for American League Rookie of the Year? How will Tarik Skubal finish in his AL Cy Young campaign? Does Parker Meadows prove himself as the everyday center fielder of the future?
Mark and Evan also dig into whether it's time to recall Spencer Torkelson, who is heating up in Triple-A Toledo.

August 8 in Tigers and mlb history:
1903: The New York Giants' Joe McGinnity repeats his feat from August 1st, when he defeats the Brooklyn Superbas in both ends of a doubleheader, 6 - 1 and 4 - 3. A week earlier he beat the Boston Beaneaters, 4 - 1 and 5 - 2. McGinnity also is credited with a steal of home in the second game while Brooklyn is arguing a disputed call at third base. Brooklyn P Henry Schmidt is so upset about the steal that he throws the ball out of the park? a toss that gets him tossed from the game. On August 31st? Iron Joe will beat the Phillies twice. He has now done double work five times? including two losses on each of the two occasions at Baltimore in 1901. The combination of his 434 innings pitched and 31 wins? with Christy Mathewson's 366 innings pitched and 30 wins? will make them the century's most productive one-season duo.
1903: Furious when an old black ball is put into play when Cleveland is at bat in the last of the 11th and his objections are ignored by umpire Tom Connolly Naps manager Nap Lajoie hurls the ball over the grandstand suffering the loss of the game to Detroit by forfeit. Detroit was leading 6 - 5.
1914: Tris Speaker of the Boston Red Sox records an unassisted double play against the Detroit Tigers - his second of the season. Tiger runner Harry Heilmann is doubled off second base in the 4th inning when a hit-and-run play becomes a line drive to Speaker. Boston wins? 5 - 2. Speaker previously accomplished the feat against the Philadelphia Athletics on April 21st. This is a record for outfielders.
1920: Detroit Tigers pitcher Howard Ehmke wins the American League's shortest game ever when he defeats the New York Yankees 1 - 0, in one hour and thirteen minutes. With no outs and two on in the 5th inning? the Yanks fail to capitalize as Ping Bodie falls for the hidden ball trick applied by 2B Ralph Young.
1924: Babe Ruth has a pair of homers - his 37th and 38th - plus a triple and 2 walks? but it is not enough as the Yankees fall to Cleveland? 10 - 8. Joe Bush and Bob Shawkey do the bleeding.
1929: Rogers Hornsby cracks a 4th-inning homer - one of his 4 hits - as Chicago edges the Reds, 1 - 0, at Wrigley Field. Charlie Root allows 7 hits in beating rookie Benny Frey.
1943: Ty Cobb - born in 1886 - came to watch a 1943 baseball game between the Ford All-Stars and the Navy Great Lakes team, coached by fellow former Tiger Mickey Cochrane.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkFZKCGUYAYZRBX.jpg
1945: The Detroit Tigers selected George Caster off waivers from the St. Louis Browns.
1945: A line drive of the bat of Hank Greenberg fractures the skull of pitcher Jim Wilson, resulting in two hours of surgery. Wilson will recover and pitch in the majors until 1958.
1948: In Cleveland? 73?484 fans watch the Indians and Yankees square off for 2 games. Trailing in the opener? an ailing Lou Boudreau hits a bases-loaded pinch single in the 7th to tie the game? and Satchel Paige wins it in relief? 8 - 6. Steve Gromek goes 7 innings in the nitecap to give the Indians a 2 - 1 win over rookie Bob Porterfield? making his major league debut.
1954: The Dodgers score a National League-record 13 runs in the 8th off Cincinnati in Ebbets Field to win, 20 - 7. Twelve of the runs are unearned and an NL-record 12 are tallied with two outs and no one on. Gil Hodges gets a triple and a home run in 3 at bats in the inning? while Clem Labine? who has a career .100 BA? walks twice. Jackie Robinson drives in 3 runs with a single as Duke Snider scores from first base. Roy Campanella? Jim Gilliam? and Don Hoak all homer for Brooklyn in the game to pin the loss on Karl Drews.
1954: The Yankees spot the host Tigers a four-run lead? tie it up? then watch as Detroit wins it, 10 - 8, in 10 innings. Mickey Mantle has one homer off Billy Hoeft, and just misses on a titanic opposite field drive that curves foul before leaving the stadium. A 2-run walk-off home run by Jim Delsing.
1956: Mickey Mantle's opposite-field homer? off Camilo Pascual in the 1st inning, jump starts the Yankees to a 12 - 2 win over the Senators. Mantle is now 9 games ahead of Babe Ruth's 1927 pace.
1957: Club President Walter O'Malley offically announces that the Brooklyn Dodgers will play in Los Angeles in 1958.
1963: Tigers beat Red Sox 6-5 on Rocky Colavito's RBI single off Dick Radatz (12-4) in 10th.
1964: Tigers beat the A's 4 - 3 on Jake Wood's RBI single in the 13th inning.
1966: Tigers win 4 - 3 over the senators on a Willie Horton 2-run single in the 12th inning.
1968: Tigers rout Cleveland 13-1 for their 5th straight win. Denny McLain improves to 23-3. Called upon to pinch hit while eating a hot dog, Gates Brown stuffs it in his back pocket, then ruins it by sliding into second base.
1969: The Detroit Tigers traded Don McMahon to the San Francisco Giants for a player to be named later. The San Francisco Giants sent Cesar Gutierrez (September 2, 1969) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.
1969: Tigers beat the white sox 7 - 3 on a home run by Willie Horton and a 2-run triple by Bill Freehan.
1970: The New York Yankees honor Casey Stengel at Old Timers Day in Yankee Stadium. Stengel's number 37 is retired.
1972: Frank Howard goes 3-for-4 with a double and a home run on his birthday to lead the Tigers to a 6-5 win.
1977: "Sunshine, fresh air, we got the team behind us. So, let's play two!" ~ Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
1991: The Detroit Tigers fan a team record 21 times in a 14-inning 4 - 0 win over the Blue Jays. Mark Salas hits a 3-run pinch homer off Tom Henke in the top of the 14th. Mickey Tettleton follows one out later with another homer. Starters Bill Gullickson and Tom Candiotti match zeroes for 7 innings.
2001: Tigers P Nate Cornejo makes his major league debut against Rangers P Joaquin Benoit. It is the first time since August 21, 1990 that both starting pitchers are making their big league debuts. The Tigers tie a modern record by scoring 13 runs in the 9th inning to snap a 6 - 6 tie and roll 19 - 6. Damion Easley gets 6 hits? including 2 in the 9th to tie an American League and team record last done by Ty Cobb. The winning pitcher is former Ranger Danny Patterson who faces one batter in the 8th.
2004: The Red Sox defeat the Tigers 11 - 9 despite 7 Detroit home runs. Tim Wakefield records the win for Boston despite tying a major league record by allowing 6 of the homers. Wakefield is the 6th modern pitcher to yield 6 round-trippers but the first since Philadelphia's George Caster did so 64 years ago against the Red Sox. The last pitcher to give up 6 homers and still win the game was Brooklyn's Hollis Thurston in 1932.
2005: The Tigers defeat the Blue Jays 9 - 8 in 12 innings despite getting out hit 20 to 15. DH Rondell White, and RF Magglio Ordonez both have 2 rbi. SS Carlos Guillen hits a homerun. Tigers win on a Vance Wilson basers-loaded infield single in the 12th inning.
2009: Albert Pujols is the first player in the majors to reach 100 RBI this year with a three-run double in St. Louis' 5 - 3 win over Pittsburgh. Pujols reaches the milestone for the 9th straight season. Only Hall of Famer Al Simmons has had a longer such streak, with 11 seasons of 100 or more RBI from the start of his career.
2013: Detroit wins its 12th straight game, 10 - 3 over Cleveland, completing a four-game sweep of its closest rivals in the AL Central. Max Scherzer improves to 17-1. The last pitcher to have such a mark was Roger Clemens in 2001, and only two others, Don Newcombe (1955) and Roy Face (1959), who both had records of 18-1 at one point, have done it since Rube Marquard started the 1912 season 19-0.
2020: The Tigers start off their game against the Pirates with a roar, as Niko Goodrum, Miguel Cabrera, C.J. Cron and Jeimer Candelario all homer off Derek Holland before an out is recorded in the 1st inning, leading to five runs. There is a scary moment in the 6th, as RF Gregory Polanco and 1B Phillip Evans collide at full speed while going after a foul ball hit by Cabrera. Evans gets the worst of it and has to be evacuated from the field on a stretcher.
