1901 - Detroit sweeps a Labor Day doubleheader from Washington, picking up an American League record 21 infield assists in game 2. This is still the AL record. SS Kid Elberfeld has 12 assists to back up Roscoe Miller.

1909: Detroit completes a sweep of every series against visiting eastern teams, winning their 14th in a row to regain first place by a half game en route to their 3rd straight pennant.

1970: Detroit's Gene Lamont homers in his first major league at bat, but the Red Sox this time hold the lead and beat the Tigers. The Tigers win the opener, 6 - 4, scoring two unearned runs in the 8th.

1973: The Tigers fire Billy Martin due to continuous differences with the front office.

1987: Tom Candiotti pitches his second one-hitter of the season, but also walks seven batters and makes an error as the Indians lose to Detroit 2 - 1. Matt Nokes' single with two out in the 8th is the Tigers' only hit.

1994 - According to acting commissioner Bud Selig, September 9 is the tentative deadline for canceling the rest of the season if no agreement is reached between the owners and players in the labor conflict.
