May 9 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912: Detroit Tigers star player Ty Cobb hits the first home run in Fenway Park, Boston’s brand new ballpark opened less than three weeks earlier. Cobb hits the historic homer into the right field stands off Charley “Sea Lion” Hall, a husky right-hander.

1916: Thirty walks are allowed at Philadelphia as Detroit overwhelms the A's, 16 - 2. Tiger rookie George Cunningham is lifted with one out in the 3rd inning after walking six batters. He is given the win, but leaves with a no-hitter and leading 9 - 0. Eighteen of the walks are issued by the A's - 12 by reliever Carl Ray - on their way to a season total of 715. Not until 1938 will a team (the St. Louis Browns with 737) top that. Detroit will add another 11 walks against the A's tomorrow for a 2-game major-league record of 29.

1930 - The Yankees' and the Tigers' outfielders make only two putouts for an American League record which has never been equaled. The National League record for outfield idleness is one chance (Pittsburgh versus Brooklyn on August 26, 1910). Detroit's George Uhle strikes out 8 in winning, 5 - 4, and dropping the Yanks to 7th place.

1943 - Due to the poor grade of rubber cement used to make baseballs because of wartime rubber shortages, a different type of baseball is put into play today with dramatic results. In eight games, six home runs are hit compared to a total of nine homers tallied in the season's first 72 games.

1949: At Detroit, the Tigers set back the first-place Yankees, 4 - 1, behind the five-hit pitching of Ted Gray. Vic Raschi also allows just five hits, including a homer by Dick Wakefield, in taking the loss.

2006 - Delmon Young is suspended for 50 games by the International League for throwing a bat which hits a replacement umpire in the chest. The Devil Rays' top prospect, the brother of Tiger star Dmitri Young, was selected as the Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America in 2005.
