May 24 in Tigers and mlb history:

1903 - The Tigers avoid Detroit's Sunday ban on baseball by playing Washington at Grand Rapids? in a game that draws 6?000. Detroit wins? 5 - 4? behind George Mullin? with John Deering in relief.

1933 - Detroit's Tommy Bridges tosses a one-hitter in topping the Senators? 3 - 1. Joe Kuhel's homer is the only Washington safety. It is the first time in the American League that a pitcher has allowed a home run in a one-hitter.

1945: The Tigers lose Al Benton? who has 5 wins and 3 shutouts? when he is hit on the ankle ankle in the 4th frame by a line drive off the bat of Bobby Estalella. The A's score 4 in the 5th to win? 7 - 2.

1958 - The Tigers buy Bob "Hurricane" Hazle from the Braves. Hazle hitting .170, became expendable when Billy Bruton returned to action today. Bruton, who last played on July 11, 1957, appeared in the 9th of the Braves' 6 - 3 win over the Cardinals. The Tigers will eventually trade for Bruton.

1958 - The Detroit Tigers snap a nine-game losing streak and break the New York Yankees' 10-game win streak with a 3 - 2 win behind Frank Lary. Lary is now 11-4 against the Bronx Bombers.

1962 - The Tigers score their first 4 runs on homers by Billy Bruton, Rocky Colavito, and Al Kaline? then score the winner on a passed ball in the 11th to beat the Orioles 5 - 4. Charlie Lau misses a Hoyt Wilhelm knuckler to allow Dick McAuliffe to score. Jim Bunning pitches the first 9 innings for Detroit and is accused by O's manager Billy Hitchcock of notching the ball with his belt buckle.

1984: Jack Morris leads the Detroit Tigers to their 17th straight road win, setting an American League record. Morris allows four hits and Detroit beats the California Angels, 5 - 1. Morris allows 4 hits in 9 innings to win and is backed by homers from Lance Parrish and Alan Trammell. The Tigers will finally lose tomorrow in Seattle 7 - 3.
