May 16 in Tigers history:

1912 - Due to his assault on Claude Luecker, a handicapped fan and a regular heckler, Ty Cobb is suspended. Although today's game is rained out, the Tigers meet in Philadelphia, voting to boycott future games if the "Georgia Peach" is not allowed to play.

1931: At Detroit, Tommy Bridges gives up three hits in beating the Yankees 3 - 1, and dropping the Bombers to 2nd place for good, as they will not retake first the rest of the season.

1937: Browns 3B Harlond Clift equals the American League record at the hot corner with nine assists in a 5 - 4 loss to the Tigers. A fumble and late throw in the 1st inning would have given him a 10th assist. By the end of the season, Clift will set a new record for total chances and the still-standing mark of 405 assists. The Tigers' Gee Walker has a single to run his hitting streak to 21 games.

1966 - Detroit Tigers manager Chuck Dressen suffers his second heart attack in two years. Coach Bob Swift again takes the helm of the Tigers.

1978: The Tigers top Seattle, 4 - 2, in 16 innings, winning on a home run by Lance Parrish. Steve Foucault, who pitches the last three innings, gets the win. Relief ace John Hiller tosses 6 2/3 shutout innings. The M's Ruppert Jones ties a major-league record for CF by making 12 putouts.

Detroit Tigers' Jim Leyland may resort to small-ball tactics to jumpstart offense.
from Mlive

?I usually let this club just whack it,? Leyland said earlier this week. ?But sometimes, if you?re not whacking it, you try to put some guys in motion a little bit more than normal.?
we need more sacrifice bunts, brilliant...

I wonder where the Tigers rank in sac bunt attempts and success ration per. Can anyone consistently lay down a bunt on this team?
