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

December 13 in Tigers and mlb history:

1922: Alarmed at the increase in home run hitting (1,054 in the major leagues, up from 936), some American League owners back a zoning system setting a minimum of 300 feet for a ball to be called a home run. The motion dies.

1922: The league requires each club to furnish two home uniforms per player, plus extra caps and stockings on the road, to improve the players' appearance. In National League meetings, Charles Ebbets proposes putting numbers on players' sleeves or caps. It's left to each club to do as it wishes.

1927: The Tigers trade OF Heinie Manush and 1B Lu Blue to the St. Louis Browns for P Elam Vangilder and OF Harry Rice.

1927: St. Louis sends Bing Miller to Detroit for Sam "Dolly" Gray.

2001: The Tigers sign IF-OF Craig Paquette to a 2-year contract.

2001: Writing a 24-page pun-filled opinion, U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III upholds most of an arbitrator's decision declaring nine of 22 umpires who lost their jobs following a 1999 mass resignation must be reinstated. To make his point, the judge said it was his job to make sure the arbitrator hadn't "missed the ball" and both parties "make(s) a pitch that all or part of the arbitrator's ruling should be scored as an error and set aside".

2007 - The Mitchell Report is released, naming 89 players as having used or been in possession of steroids. Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Miguel Tejada and Jason Giambi are among those named. The report calls for tighter regulation of performance-enhancing drugs.

2011: The Associated Press reports a few more features of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement signed earlier this month. The All-Star break will go from three days to four beginning in 2013*, with the Mid-Summer Classic being played on a Wednesday; teams will no longer be allowed to have players on the 40-man roster share a room during spring training; and players are forbidden from displaying tattoos with corporate logos.
