January 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - Hank Greenberg is born in New York, NY. After a splendid career as a slugging firstbaseman and leftfielder for the Tigers and as a baseball executive, Greenberg will gain Hall of Fame honors in 1956.

1974 - Lee MacPhail takes over as American League president, succeeding Joe Cronin, who retires. MacPhail will serve in this role until 1984. He will join his father, Larry MacPhail, as a member of the Hall of Fame in 1998.

2009: Major League Baseball launches MLB Network, a cable and satellite television channel based out of Secaucus, NJ. The channel debuts in nearly 50 million cable and satellite homes - the largest debut in cable television history, exceeding any other cable television launch by approximately 20 million homes.

2009: The friendly confines of Wrigley Field see a different type of action as the ballpark is fitted with an outdoor hockey rink to welcome an afternoon game between the Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings. The event is a huge success with 40,818 in attendance and a huge television audience in place to watch the Wings beat the Hawks, 6 - 4. Other ballparks are lining up to host future editions of what is set to become an annual New Year's Day event.
