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

July 1 in Tigers history:

1911: Ty Cobb, who had an infield single off Earl Hamilton in his last game on June 29th, repeats by beating out another infield hit against the St. Louis lefty. Again Detroit wins, this time 8 - 0.

1936: Detroit collects 25 hits off three White Sox pitchers. Included in the pounding are
4 hit games each from 2B Charlie Gehringer, LF Goose Goslin, and RF Gee Walker who had 7 rbi in 21 - 7 win. Tommy Bridges is the complete game pitcher.

1945 - Away from the game for four years, Hank Greenberg makes a dramatic return in front of an emotional crowd of 47,700 at Briggs Stadium as he homers off Charlie Gassaway in his first game following being released from the Armed Forces. Hammerin Hank's round-tripper helps the first-place Tigers beat the A's 9 - 5.

1970: The return of Denny McLain following his suspension is witnessed by a gathering of 53,863 fans and 71 writers. He is knocked out of the box in the 6th inning, but the Tigers rally to beat the Yankees in the 11th 6 - 5.

1997 at Tiger Stadium: During the course of two games, June 30 and today, against the New York Mets, Bobby Higginson hits home runs in four consecutive official at-bats tying a big-league mark.

Every few weeks I have given all of you an explanation of sorts with being late or gone from this team notes thread and the other daily threads with the health of my elderly mother.
Yesterday during the forums outage her doctor explained to me the situation as it is and continues going forward. It doesn't look good for my mid eighties mom. When she is called, I will be gone for a 'significant amount of time', to tend to her wake and funeral and to close out her place of residence.

Since late December of 2006 to early this year, these daily threads have been so much enjoyment for all of us. These past few months with all that has happened, it has been a place of escape posting all I find on our Tigers.

I will be gone for the rest of today.
