Detroit Tigers' Lakeland home quiet on Christmas, just weeks before players arrive for 2013 spring training.
from the freep

LAKELAND, Fla. ? The grounds were eerily quiet today.
With palm trees overhead and a perfect central Florida Christmas Day, there were few sounds at TigerTown, just the tick-tick of the sprinklers spitting on a back field and the birds swirling and chirping overhead.
But February 12 is not that far away, when pitchers and catchers report to Joker Marchant Stadium. So soon, it will be filling up with the American League champions.

7 weeks and counting.....

December 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906 - National League umpire Hank O'Day suggests that the batter's box be outlined with white rubber strips rather than chalk, making it impossible for hitters to erase the lines. But the rule will never be implemented.

1950 - With a large portion going to the players' pension fund, outgoing Commissioner Happy Chandler announces the Gillette Razor Company has purchased the television rights to the All-Star Game for six years for six million dollars.

1974 - The Little League is officially open to girls as U.S. President Gerald Ford signs legislation amending the charter of the organization. Little League had sought changes in their charter after a series of lawsuits challenged its boys-only rule.

2005: The Associated Press reports that baseball took a lot of shots in 2005 from politicians, commentators and players themselves as the sport struggled with steroids.
MLB went from no drug policy in 2002, to anonymous testing in 2003, to counseling for positive tests in 2004, to a dozen 10-day suspensions this year.
Starting next year, an initial positive test will result in a 50-game suspension, and players will be tested for amphetamines for the first time, with penalties for a second positive result.
