October 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1888: The Boston Beaneaters purchased Dan Brouthers, Charlie Ganzel, Hardy Richardson, Deacon White and Charlie Bennett from the Detroit Wolverines for $30,000.

1888: The Detroit Wolverines make a huge blunder when they sell outfielder Sam Thompson to the Philadelphia Quakers for $5,000. The popular Thompson, known for his trademark handlebar mustache and hulking physique, is dealt because ownership is seeking quick cash. After leaving Detroit, Thompson hits .334 and wins two home run crowns in ten seasons with Philly. In 1974 he is elected to the Hall of Fame.

1900: Leon Goslin is born in Salem, New Jersey. The tall ballplayer later earns the nickname ?Goose? because of the funny way he walks, and goes on to a Hall of Fame career. The Tigers make a great trade in 1933 to get Goslin, who serves as a valuable run producer in his stint with the team. His RBI-single is the winning run in the 1935 World Series, driving in teammate Mickey Cochrane. In 1968 Goslin is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1909: The Pittsburgh Pirates win the World Series as rookie pitcher Babe Adams registers his third victory of the Series by beating the Detroit Tigers, 8 - 0, in Game Seven.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FfMGJUkW...pg&name=medium

1910: Ban Johnson, American League president, declares Tigers outfielder Ty Cobb the league's batting champion after questioning Nap Lajoie's "suspicious" eight-hit performance in a doubleheader against the St. Louis Browns on the season's last day.

1911: In the World Series, pitchers Rube Marquard of the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics' Eddie Plank are in command of a 1 - 1 game when Philadelphia's Eddie Collins hits a RBI double in the 6th inning and Frank Baker bats a home run for a 3 - 1 victory. The Series is even after two games.

1912: Fred Snodgrass drops a fly ball in the 10th inning that helps the Boston Red Sox score two runs and take the World Series from the New York Giants.

1920: Ty Cobb is warmly greeted in San Francisco at the start of a West Coast barnstorming tour.

1921: In defiance of a Kenesaw Mountain Landis ban on World Series participants playing post-season exhibitions, Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill Piercy launch a barnstorming tour in Buffalo. Five days later, they cut it short in Scranton. In the meantime Ruth openly challenges Judge Landis to act. The judge does, fining the players their World Series shares ($3,362.26), and suspending them until May 20 of the following season.
Judge Landis also outlaws gentleman's agreements and cover-ups of players optioned to the minors without proper paperwork.
He declares six players free agents, including Heinie Manush, who will ride a 17-year career .330 batting average into the Hall of Fame in 1964.

1923: Soon after Babe Ruth receives his World Series winner's share of $6,160.46, insurance agent Harry Heilmann, who beat Ruth for the batting title by 10 points, sells him a $50,000 life insurance policy. Beneficiaries are Mrs. Ruth and adopted daughter Dorothy.

1928: Mickey Cochrane wins American League MVP honors, edging Heinie Manush by two points. Neither Babe Ruth nor Lou Gehrig is eligible, having won the award before.

1936: Lou Gehrig, who hit .354 with 49 home runs, 167 runs, and 152 RBI, is voted American League MVP.

1938: The first ever Lions game at Briggs Stadium (Tiger Stadium).
NFL in Ballpark Series -Detroit, MI, October 16, 1938 - The first ever Lions game at Briggs Stadium (Tiger Stadium) - Baseball History Comes Alive

1960: In the first structural change since 1900, the National League votes to admit Houston and New York into the Senior Circuit. The two expansion teams will begin play in 1962.

1962: With the tying and winning runs in scoring position, Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants hits a hard line drive at second baseman Bobby Richardson for the final out and the New York Yankees win Game 7, 1 - 0, for their 20th World Series title. This is the last yankees' championship led by Mantle. The Yankees next championship will be in another 15 years.


1969: The New York Mets win their fourth straight game from the Baltimore Orioles with a 5 - 3 triumph behind pitcher Jerry Koosman, who throws a five-hitter, to take the World Series in five games.

1971: In the World Series, Brooks Robinson drives in Frank Robinson in the 10th inning of Game 6 to give Baltimore a Series-tying 3 - 2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Dave McNally gets the victory in relief and Bob Miller is the loser. Pittsburgh's Roberto Clemente does all he can to win the game single-handed. Stranded after his 1st-inning triple to the wall in left center, his 3rd-inning solo shot puts Pittsburgh up, 2 - 0. He's retired on long flies in the 5th and 8th innings while Pittsburgh fritters away its modest lead. He comes up in the 10th inning with Dave Cash having just stolen second base. Baltimore manager Earl Weaver walks Clemente intentionally, preferring to face Willie Stargell, and Al Oliver, who flies out to center.
All of Clemente's offensive contributions notwithstanding, the reason the game reaches extra innings is his defensive gem in the bottom of the 9th, a no-look, one-hop strike from Memorial Stadium's right field corner, 310 feet away, to catcher Manny Sanguillen, preventing the runner at first, running on contact on Don Buford's two-out double, from even attempting to score.
By extending the game, Clemente's throw will force Baltimore's best player, Frank Robinson, to win this game with his legs, challenging the arm of centerfielder Vic Davalillo on two consecutive plays. In doing so, Robinson tears his left hamstring and aggravates an already damaged right Achilles tendon; he will be but a shadow of himself in the decisive 7th game.

1975: Tony Perez breaks an 0 for 15 slump with two home runs to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 6 - 2 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 5 of the World Series.

1984: Detroit honors the Tigers with a championship parade.

1998: Alejandro Freire of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1998: Pedro Swann of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.

2003: The New York Yankees capture their 39th American League pennant beating the Red Sox, 6 - 5, thanks to Aaron Boone's 11th-inning home run off Tim Wakefield at Yankee Stadium. Boone becomes the fifth player to end a postseason series with a homer joining Bill Mazeroski (1960 WS), Chris Chambliss (1976 ALCS, Joe Carter (1993 WS) and Todd Pratt (1999 NLDS2).

2012: The Detroit Tigers traded players to be named later to the Chicago Cubs for Jeff Baker. The Detroit Tigers sent Marcelo Carreno (minors) (October 16, 2012) and cash (October 16, 2012) to the Chicago Cubs to complete the trade.

2012: Detroit takes a 3 games to none lead in the ALCS behind another strong performance by ace Justin Verlander. Verlander gives up no runs through the first 8 innings before allowing a lead-off homer to Eduardo Nunez in the 9th, but needs relief help from Phil Coke, who gets the last two outs in a 2 - 1 win. Delmon Young homers off Philip Hughes for the Bengals' first run in the 4th, then Quintin Berry scores the second run on a double by Miguel Cabrera in the 5th.

2013: The Tigers shuffle their line-up before Game 4 of the ALCS, and it pays off as they defeat the Red Sox, 7 - 3, to even the series. Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera, moved up to the first two spots of the batting order, drive in two runs each as Doug Fister earns the win with 6 strong innings on the mound.
Lou Whitaker throws out the first pitch before Game 4 of the ALCS.

2019: The Angels hire Joe Maddon, who spent 31 years in their organization before managing the Rays and Cubs, as their new manager, replacing Brad Ausmus.

2020: The Astros become only the second team ever to even a seven-game postseason series after being down 3-0 with their 7 - 4 win over the Rays in Game 6 of the ALCS today. Framber Valdez has a strong outing, giving up 1 run in 6 innings while striking out 9, and the Astros score 4 runs in the 5th when Diego Castillo fails in his mission to rescue starter Blake Snell. Manuel Margot homers twice in a losing cause.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The playoffs are now over for the Detroit Tigers. But the memories of both series against the Astros and Guardians live on.
And as such, let’s think back to the best moments of these games.
We marvel at how so many Tigers contributed key at-bats, impressive pitching and defensive gems. There was literally a new hero every game.
Which brings us to the mighty challenge for TT readers.
It’s a challenge that’s meant to be tough. That’s what makes this fun!
If you had to pick one – just one as Lay’s tells us – which Tiger would get your MVP vote for both sets of playoff games?
Which Tiger gets your vote for MVP of both playoff series?

1. Beau Brieske

2. Kerry Carpenter

3. Andy Ibanez

4. Parker Meadows

5. Tarik Skubal

6. Trey Sweeney

7. Will Vest

Days of Roar: A Free Press Sports Detroit Tigers. 70 minutes.
With Evan still away on his honeymoon, Mark once again enlists the help of Tigers radio analyst and friend of the pod Bobby Scales to co-host the show. Mark and Bobby break down the nearly unprecedented season for the 2024 Tigers and begin looking at how the team’s playoff run could impact the 2025 season. With greater expectations now formed for the young ball club, how might Scott Harris and A.J. Hinch bolster this seemingly new era of Tigers baseball? The guys attempt to parse the tea leaves for answers from the Tigers’ season ending press conference. After Bobby exits the show, we find that you can take the baseball beat writer out of Detroit but you can’t take the baseball beat out of the writer as Evan joins AGAIN while still on his honeymoon with additional analysis from the press conference.
 
October 17 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: The Philadelphia Athletics score twice in the 11th inning to beat the New York Giants, 3 - 2, in Game 3 of the World Series. Frank Baker hits a home run in the 9th inning off Christy Mathewson to tie the score, 1 - 1. Baker will be tagged with the nickname "Home Run" Baker for his exploits.

1915: In a game between the Indianapolis ABCs and a team of white "All-Stars" from the city, trouble breaks out in the 5th inning when All-Stars baserunner Donie Bush is declared safe by (white) umpire Jimmy Scanlon on an attempted steal of second base, while most observers contend he was out. ABCs second baseman Bingo DeMoss objects vehemently and starts to fight the umpire, at which point 19-year-old CF Oscar Charleston runs in from his official and decks the official with one punch, starting a huge brawl that engulfs players, fans and police officers alike. After order is restored, both DeMoss and Charleston are arrested, although they will be let out on bail and allowed to accompany their team on a planned barnstorming tour of Cuba. When they return to face trial on December 7th, Charleston is fined $10 and DeMoss $5, but the police use the fight as a pretext to ban any further games between teams of different races in the city.

1919: Babe Ruth appears in a Boston Red Sox uniform for the last time when he plays in a WWI American Jewish Relief charity game held in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

1964: Despite a 99-63 record, the Yankees fire manager Yogi Berra after losing the World Series to the Cardinals in seven games. Manager Johnny Keane of the World Champs Cardinals resigns unexpectedly. He will take the Yankee job which opens as the result of the firing of Berra.

1968: Willie Horton and Mickey Lolich campaigned with Vice President Hubert Humphrey during the '68 presidential race.

1971: Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates caps off an incredible World Series by belting a home run in Game 7 against Mike Cuellar of the Baltimore Orioles. Steve Blass wins a 2 - 1 decision and Clemente is named Series MVP after hitting .414.


1974: The Oakland Athletics defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3 - 2, to win their third straight World Series. Joe Rudi's 7th-inning home run provides the winning margin. The Athletics join the New York Yankees as the only franchises in major league history to win three straight titles.

1978: The New York Yankees win their fourth straight game, 7 - 2, to clinch their second consecutive World Championship over the Dodgers. Brian Doyle and Series MVP Bucky Dent have three hits apiece.

1979: Willie Stargell hits a two-run home run to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 4 - 1 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles and the World Series in seven games.


1982: Robin Yount records his second four-hit game of the World Series to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6 - 4 victory in Game 5 and give his team a 3-2 lead overall over St. Louis. Yount is the first player ever to have multiple four-hit games in one World Series.

1989: Minutes before Game 3 of the World Series between Oakland and the San Francisco Giants, an earthquake hits the San Francisco Bay area.
The game is postponed and the Series will only resume 11 days later.

1991: In Game 7 of the NLCS, the Atlanta Braves' Brian Hunter's two-run home run in the 1st inning is all John Smoltz needs as he tosses a 4 - 0 shutout over the Pittsburgh Pirates, as the Braves win their first National League pennant since their move from Milwaukee.

2000: Mariners' Dan Wilson singles to snap a postseason hitless streak of 42 at-bats. The streak, begun in 1995, broke Marv Owen's postseason record 31 hitless at-bats in the 1934 & 1935 World Series.

2013: The Red Sox defeat the Tigers, 4 - 3, in Game 5 of the ALCS. The Sox take an early 4 - 0 lead, but Jon Lester begins tiring in the 5th, when he gives up a first run. The Tigers add runs in the next two innings, but can't tie the game as Koji Uehara records a five-out save.

2021: Major League Baseball announces that it will now mandate teams to provide adequate housing for their minor league players, after numerous stories over recent months have highlighted the poor living conditions that players are often forced to endure as a result of the pittance they are being paid while toiling in the minors.
