November 4 in Tigers and mlb history:
1889: After a formal meeting of representatives from all National League chapters, the Brotherhood issues a "Manifesto" in which it claims that "players have been bought, sold and exchanged as though they were sheep instead of American citizens." This bold statement constitutes a declaration of war between the Brotherhood and major league officials which will soon explode into the formation of the Players League.
1899: Michigan beats Virginia 38-0 at Bennett Park at Michigan & Trumbull.
1912: Miller Huggins is named manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, beginning his 17-year career as a skipper.
1935: Cal Hubbard, pro football tackle with the Green Bay Packers, joins the American League umpiring staff.
1957 - With a new balk rule, the batter now has an option after the call is made. If a player gets a hit, he can accept the outcome of the pitch, instead of being only limited to the advance of the baserunner(s).
1959 - Ernie Banks wins his second National League MVP Award in a row on the strength of his 45 home runs and 143 RBI for the Chicago Cubs.
Eddie Mathews finishes second.
1962: Dick McAuliffe's 2-run RBI single with 2 outs starts a 4-run rally in the 10th inning that gives the Tigers a 7-3 exhibition win in Osaka, Japan.
1975 - Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer wins his second Cy Young Award, after pacing the American League in wins (23), shutouts (10), and ERA (2.09).
1976: The first mass-market free agent re-entry draft is held at the New York Plaza Hotel. Among those available are Reggie Jackson, Willie McCovey, Joe Rudi, Don Gullett, Gene Tenace, Nate Colbert, Rollie Fingers, Don Baylor and Bobby Grich. McCovey and Colbert are the only two players not selected, but McCovey will catch on with the Giants in spring training and have a banner year at his old first base position.
1980: Japan's all-time home run hitter, Sadaharu Oh, retires from professional baseball. The Tokyo Yomiuri Giants' first baseman hit a record 868 home runs in his 22-year playing career.
1980: The Detroit Tigers signed Dave Gumpert as an amateur free agent.
1980: Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies joins Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer, as pitchers with three Cy Young Awards. Carlton garners all but one of the 24 first-place votes to take National League honors. He posted a 24-9 record with a 2.34 ERA and a league-leading 286 strikeouts.
1988: Dave Bergman of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1988: Darrell Evans of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1988: Ted Power of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
1988: The Detroit Tigers released Larry Herndon.
1996: New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter is the unanimous choice as American League Rookie of the Year. Jeter becomes the eighth Yankees player to win the award and the fifth unanimous choice in American League history.
1999: Luis Polonia of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2001: In Game 7 of a classic World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks rally for two runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to defeat the New York Yankees and their usually unbeatable closer, Mariano Rivera, 3 - 2. The four-year-old Diamondbacks, the youngest franchise to win a Fall Classic, end New York's string of three consecutive World Championships.
2010: Eddie Bonine of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2010: The Detroit Tigers traded Brent Dlugach to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later. The Boston Red Sox sent Pedro Perez (minors) (April 2, 2011) to the Detroit Tigers to complete the trade.
2010: Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson dies in Thousand Oaks, California at 76. Nicknamed "Captain Hook" for his tendency to remove his starting pitchers early in the game - now standard practice - he was the first manager to win over 100 games in a season in both leagues, and the first to lead teams from both leagues to World Championships, doing so with Cincinnati in 1975 and 1976, and with Detroit in 1984.
2014: Bryan Augenstein of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
2014: Duane Below of the Detroit Tigers granted free agency.
