January 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1901 - After rejecting a proposal to ban the bunt, the newly-named Rules Committee composed of Connie Mack, John McGraw and Charles Comiskey recommends no changes at this time.

1951 - Major League Baseball signs a six-year All-Star Game pact for TV and Radio rights calling for $6 million. A number of owners criticize Commissioner Happy Chandler, believing that in a couple of years, the broadcast rights will be worth much more than a million per annum.

1957 - With the advent of coast-to-coast air travel, Major League Baseball considers a plan creating a player pool to be used in the event of an air disaster.

1961 - Billy Hamilton and Max Carey are selected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.

1967 - Former Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey and Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lloyd Waner are elected to the Hall of Fame by a unanimous vote of the Special Veterans Committee. In 1947, Rickey promoted Jackie Robinson to the Dodgers, effectively breaking the baseball color line in the major leagues.

1988 - the Dodgers signed star Tigers outfielder Kirk Gibson.
