January 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1931: The International League accepts the open draft imposed by the major leagues. Until this time, the top minor leagues could control their players and refuse to sell them.

1951 - The Baseball Writers Association of America vote sluggers Mel Ott and Jimmie Foxx into the Hall of Fame. Ott hit .304 with 511 home runs and 1860 RBI; he managed the New York Giants from 1942 to 1948. Foxx was a .325 hitter with 534 home runs and 1922 RBI.

1963 - Major League Baseball's Rules Committee increases the size of the strike zone.
The zone will stretch from the top of the batter's shoulders to the bottom of the knees.
The committee hopes the return to the 1950s strike zone will result in a decrease in runs scored. The results will exceed the committee's expectations, and after the "Year of the Pitcher" in 1968, the strike zone will be tweaked again to give the hitters a break.

1989 - The tougher balk rules initiated last season are rescinded and are replaced by the pre-1988 rules.

1995 - Major League Baseball players and owners are told by President Clinton to resume bargaining and reach an agreement to resolve the strike by February 6th.
