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

November 30 in Tigers and mlb history:

1953: The player reps reject Commissioner Ford Frick's plan for a conference on their pension after he bars their attorney's presence.

1972: The Detroit Tigers traded Jim Foor and Norm McRae to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Dick Sharon.

1999: Members of the Major League Umpires Association vote 57-35 to form a new union, with one vote voided because the umpire signed his ballot. The National Labor Relations Board will certify the election results in seven days, if there are no objections. But, Jerry Crawford, the president of the old union, says objections are likely to be filed.

Lou Whitaker: The most consistently *good* player ever? (Part 1).
from HighHeatStats

Has anyone produced more ?good-but-not-great? seasons than Whitaker? In his 19-year career, Whitaker had:
Twelve seasons with 3.0 to 5.0 WAR ? the most such years in MLB history. (Three others had 11, and two had 10.)
Fifteen seasons with 3.0 to 7.0 WAR ? again, the most such years in MLB history. (Two others had 14, and two had 13.)
Why those WAR ranges? The floor of 3.0 WAR is a generally accepted standard for a good season by a regular. (See chart.)
