September 17 in Tigers history:

1910: Detroit pitcher Ed Summers, a notoriously poor hitter, bounces two home runs into the stands in a 10 - 3 victory over the A's. The two homers, both off Harry Krause, will comprise his career total.

1920: The Tigers' Bobby Veach and the Giants' George Burns hit for the cycle, the first time it has happened twice on the same day. It will be 88 years until the feat is duplicated by Adri?n Beltre and Stephen Drew. Veach has his cycle in the Tigers 14 - 13 win over boston and knocks in 6 runs. Ty Cobb has 4 walks ans scores 4 runs.

1934 - The Yankees reach Detroit for a last-chance series and lose the opener, as veteran Al Crowder beats Lefty Gomez with a 3 - 0 shutout.

1958 - Despite a wind blowing in at Briggs Stadium, Mickey Mantle poles a Jim Bunning pitch down the right field line over the roof onto Trumbull Avenue, some 500 feet away. The 2-run homer is all that Bunning allows as the Tigers win 5 - 2. Reno Bertoia playing 3B for the Tigers is the hitting star with 2 homeruns.

1968: Detroit clinches the American League pennant with a 2 - 1 win over the Yankees. Detroit is ahead 1 - 0 when Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey phones Tiger general manager Jim Campbell with the news that the Sox have beaten the Orioles, clinching the pennant for the Tigers. Campbell keeps the score off the radio and the scoreboard, fearing the news will send fans rampaging onto the field. Don Wert singles home PH Al Kaline who walked earlier in the inning with the winner in the 9th and the fans tear down the left field screen.

The who?
The Tigers haven't faced the Athletics since early May. It seems almost like another season ago, but starting Tuesday night, they'll be facing them at Comerica Park for three games.
The A's are a contending team, but not one the Tigers see a lot, so to get a better read on them, they have had two advance scouts watching them recently.
The Tigers don't normally use an advance scout, ????????????????????????


Leyland was adamant about giving Joaquin Benoit the day off Sunday because of a heavy recent workload. But not Valverde. and where is/was Al Al???
