June 15 in Tigers and mlb history:

1928 - A Detroit Tigers legend for 22 years, Ty Cobb now with the Philadelphia Athletics steals home for the 54th and final time in his 24-year career to extend his major league record. It comes in the eighth inning against the Cleveland Indians.

1931 - Cut-down day for major league rosters includes the retirement of Eddie Collins and
the Ex- Detroit Tigers hitter extradonaire Harry Heilmann. Collins becomes a coach for the Philadelphia Athletics and Heilmann will return briefly to the Cincinnati Reds next season.

1948 - The Detroit Tigers beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 4 - 1, before a crowd of 54,480 in the first night game at Briggs Stadium. Hal Newhouser allows just two hits in the Tigers 4-1 win over the Athletics. The Tigers are the last American League team to install lights.

1952 - in the second game of a doubleheader against the Senators, Tiger first baseman Walt Dropo gets a hit in his 12th consecutive at-bat, tying the major league record. Detroit had acquired Dropo from the Red Sox in a trade less than two weeks earlier.

1965 - Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain makes a first-inning relief appearance and strikes out the first seven batters he faces, setting a major league record. He records 14 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings as Detroit rallies to beat the Boston Red Sox, 6 - 5. Bill Freehan has a record-tying 19 putouts at catcher.

1966 - Al Kaline collects his 2,000th hit in the Tigers 11-7 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Kaline reaches the milestone in the first inning when he singles in a run against Jim Lonborg. Kaline becomes the fifth Tiger batter to reach 2,000 hits mark, joining legends Ty Cobb, Charlie Gehringer, Sam Crawford, and Harry Heilmann.

Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski outlines his team's pursuit of Roy Oswalt to John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press. Dombrowski said the Tigers were prepared to meet Oswalt's salary demands in the offseason but the veteran just didn't want to pitch in Detroit. Oswalt's representatives contacted Dombrowski again once the season began and Oswalt was without a team, but the Tigers had already moved on with Drew Smyly in the rotation.
