Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

November 14 in Tigers and mlb history:

1900: The National League rejects the American League as an equal, declaring it an outlaw league outside of the National Agreement, thus inaugurating a state of war. This follows the AL's announcement two days ago that it has made arrangements to go into Washington, DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Two weeks later the American Association makes it a three-way battle, but that third circuit will remain a minor league.

1929: Former pitching star Joe McGinnity dies at the age of 58. McGinnity, nicknamed "Iron Man", posted 246 wins in only 10 major league seasons. He will enter the Hall of Fame in 1946.

1946: Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox wins his first American League Most Valuable Player Award. Williams had hit .406 and led the league in home runs in 1941, but had lost the MVP race to Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees.
He won the Triple Crown a year later, but lost the MVP to Joe Gordon of the New York Yankees.
This time, Williams beat out Detroit Tigers ace pitcher Hal Newhouser, a two-time winner of the MVP award who finished second in the balloting.



1957: Milwaukee Braves outfielder Hank Aaron is named National League Most Valuable Player with 239 votes. Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals is a close second with 230, and his teammate Red Schoendienst finishes third with 221.


1961: John Fetzer buys out the interest of Fred Knorr and becomes sole owner of the #Tigers. He will own the team until 1983.

2013: The MVPs in the two major league circuits are both clear-cut picks: Andrew McCutchen gets 28 of 30 first-place votes in the NL and Miguel Cabrera 23 in the AL.

ALWAYS A METHOD BEHIND THE MADNESS.
Totally Tigers
 
According to Baseball America's HIT+ metric, Detroit had the best-hitting player development system in 2024. Part of their analysis: "Last year, the Tigers were a surprise addition near the top of the charts. This year, they lead the league in this metric with strong performances from Kevin McGonigle (130 HIT+) and Dillon Dingler (122). Trading Jack Flaherty helped by adding Thayron Liranzo (120) and Trey Sweeney (117). The parent club was a surprise playoff team in 2024, and it seems that there is solid hitting depth in the organization."
