November 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1914 - Future Hall of Fame outfielder Joe DiMaggio is born in Martinez, California. The son of Italian immigrants, DiMaggio will make his major league debut in 1936 after starring in the Pacific Coast League and will spend his entire big league playing career with the New York Yankees.

1944 - Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first Major League Baseball Commissioner, dies of a heart attack at age 78 in Chicago. Landis had ruled over baseball since November 1920 in the wake of the Black Sox scandal, and wielded authority perhaps unparalleled in any other industry. Landis had entered the hospital on October 2nd. He will elected to the Hall of Fame on December 9th in a special ballot.

1949 - Ted Williams, who lost the Triple Crown when his batting average was .0002 below that of George Kell, wins the American League MVP Award vote in a landslide. Phil Rizzuto and Joe Page finish second and third in the voting.

2002: Detroit sends 1B Randall Simon to Pittsburgh in exchange for Adrian Burnside and a player to be named later.

?The history we ... have, as a teammates. The success that we?ve been able to have here, not only individually but as a team,? Avila said. ?Tigers is all I know. For me, that?s been six of the best years of my life. The memories that I have here I?ll never forget.?

Avila's last start as a Tiger came on Oct. 3 and fittingly, he caught Justin Verlander in a game against the White Sox.

?Before and throughout the game, there was a lot going through my mind,? Avila said. ?It was a little emotional for me, you know? We put in a lot of time and effort the last five or six years. We?ve become good friends and we?ve had a lot of success together.

?It was definitely a little tough.?
The two shared a long embrace after the game.

?If he?s not back, I?m going to miss him,? Verlander said. ?We became really good friends. I enjoyed throwing to him. I mean, we?ve done some pretty special things together. It?s always tough, but it?s the nature of the game.?

Since his All-Star season in 2011, his offensive production has steadily declined -- .297, .243, .227, .218 and .191. He?s always had good on-base numbers and occasional power, but he?s fallen off in those areas, as well. His OPS from 2011 to now -- .895, .736, .693, .686, .626.

?I don?t have an answer for you,? he said of his offensive struggles. ?There is nothing I can say that it?s this or it?s that. This was definitely not the way you plan it out, not in my mind when I left spring training. But baseball rarely goes the way you plan it. You just adjust to it.

?There?s always a lot more factors than what you?d think that go into poor or good play.?
He battled concussions and last season a knee injury. But he refused to accept injuries as an excuse.

?They are not an excuse for anything,? he said. ?Players get injured all the time. Some guys come back from injuries and are able to pick up where they left off and other guys don?t. It takes a little longer.?
