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

Leyland--"I've managed a lot of players, and some great ones, but I've never seen anything like this." #Cabrera #TripleCrown #Tigers
 
October 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1922 - For the first time, the entire World Series will be broadcast over the radio. Writer Grantland Rice does the announcing of the New York Giants-New York Yankees Series for station WJZ, in Newark, NJ, whose signal is relayed to WGY in Schenectady, NY.

1925 - Harry Heilmann gets six hits in Detroit's doubleheader sweep over the Browns, 10 - 4 and 11 - 6, to edge out teammate Ty Cobb for the batting crown, .393 to .389. Cobb bats over .300 for the 20th time.
In the second game, fans see the unusual spectacle of two managers, both famous hitters, pitch against each other in the season finale. George Sisler of the Browns and Ty Cobb of Detroit both pitch in relief for the two clubs. Cobb is perfect in his one inning, while Sisler holds Detroit scoreless in two.

1934 - Schoolboy Rowe evens the World Series with a 12-inning, 3 - 2 victory, shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals over the final nine innings. The Detroit Tigers tie the game in the 9th inning and win on Goose Goslin's single.

1987 - The Detroit Tigers take advantage of one of the great collapses in history to win the AL East title, beating the Toronto Blue Jays, 1 - 0, behind the six-hit pitching of Frank Tanana. Toronto lost its last seven games of the season, including three straight in the season-ending series at Detroit.

2011:
The Yankees tie their ALDS with Detroit at 2 games each with a 10 - 1 rout at Comerica Park. Due to the suspension of Game 1 which cost the two teams an off-day, the Yankees have to start the unpredictable A.J. Burnett against Rick Porcello, but he responds with a solid performance. Burnett gives up a run in 5 2/3 innings after issuing three walks in the 1st. New York puts the game away by beating up Detroit's bullpen for 6 8th-inning runs.

Miggy does it!!!
from DetroitFox

A native of Venezuela, Miguel Cabrera, is the first Latino-born winner of the TripleCrown.

Statement from 1967 TripleCrown winner Carl Yastrzemski: ?I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on winning the Triple Crown. I am glad that he accomplished this while leading his team to the American League Central title.
I was fortunate enough to win this award in 1967 as part of the Red Sox Impossible Dream Team.
I am sure Frank Robinson joins me in commending Miguel in reaching this significant milestone in his career".

Miguel Cabrera Clinches 2012 AL Triple Crown.
from the detroitsportssite

Statement from Bud Selig: It is an honor to congratulate Miguel Cabrera on earning the Triple Crown, a remarkable achievement that places...
him amongst an elite few in all of baseball history. Miguel has long been one of the most accomplished hitters in the game. and this recognition is one that he will be able to cherish for the rest of his career in baseball and beyond.
As the Tigers prepare for the Postseason, we have a global stage to witness Miguel?s talent. which will go down as one of the hallmarks of Major League Baseball?s extraordinary 2012 regular season.

Frank Robinson statement: I congratulate Miguel Cabrera on winning the Triple Crown. Miguel has been outstanding all year long ? by coming to play every day, showing his discipline at the plate and making the most of his great talent. For me, earning the batting title over Tony Oliva, who we played against in the last series of the year, was the hardest part. and for Miguel, I am sure it was even more challenging, given all the specialized relievers in the game today. Most importantly, Miguel and the Tigers now have the opportunity to participate in the most exciting month of the baseball season. This is an incredible accomplishment for a gifted young man, and Miguel should be proud of his all-around excellence and consistency.

From Barry Sanders I would like to congratulate Miguel Cabrera on a truly amazing feat! This is a great day for you, the city and team of Detroit, and baseball fans.

Current odds to win the AL pennant (courtesy @BovadaLV): NYY 9/4, Tigers 11/4, Rangers 13/4, Athletics 7/2, Orioles 7/1.

Austin Jackson had one more BB than Miggy (67 to 66) and was 2nd on the team to Prince. What a nice turnaround for Austin!
Jackson set career highs in HR 16), RBI (66), BB (67). He led Tigers w/10 triples. Who was 2nd? Berry with 6.

If K's were hits, Raburn would've batted .259

Three different sources saying Leyland is retiring after this season & that "health is an issue".

Triple Crown Duos : Cobb and Cabrera.

As you've probably seen elsewhere, Mickey Lolich will throw out the first pitch for Saturday's Game 1 of the ALDS. #Tigers
