Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

August 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1930: At Detroit Charlie Gehringer hits a homer to center field with the bases loaded in the 12th inning to give the Tigers a 7 - 3 win over Chicago. It is Gehringer's 4th hit and 2nd homer as he drives in six runs, and Gehringer's 2nd 12th-inning homer in a month: he hit one against Cleveland on the 4th of July.

1948: Ernie Harwell begins as an announcer for the Dodgers calling a 5 - 4 win over the Cubs. The Dodgers had to trade a player, Cliff Dapper, to the Atlanta Crackers to acquire Harwell. Brooklyn scores a pair in the 1st, one on a steal of home by Jackie Robinson.

1967 - Tigers owner John Fetzer, president of the major league television committee, announces a $50 million, 3-year deal with NBC to televise the World Series, All-Star Game, and 28 weekly telecasts.

1996: Jim Bunning, Earl Weaver, Bill Foster, and Ned Hanlon are inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame.

2003 - Major League Baseball announces a five-year deal, which will generate more than $500 million in revenue, for global licensing rights for apparel and headgear. The seven companies involved in the deal include Majestic Athletic, New Era Cap, Twins Enterprises, Nike USA, Dynasty Apparel Industries, Drew Pearson International and VF Imagewear.

Boyd will start in place of rookie right-hander Buck Farmer.

The Tigers will announce a corresponding move following their game tonight to make room on the roster for Boyd. The Tigers could send Farmer down but might choose to hold on to him since Alfredo Simon, who is scheduled to start Saturday, has been battling a groin issue.
If the Tigers hold on to Farmer, Jose Valdez is a likely candidate to be sent down.
