August 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1917 - Coaching at third base in a 1 - 1 game against Washington, Ty Cobb gives baserunner George Burns a shove when Burns stops at third on a long hit; Burns keeps going and scores the winning run. Clark Griffith protests, and Ban Johnson upholds him, as the rules now ban coaches from touching a runner. The game is replayed, and Washington wins 2 - 0.

1921 - At the age of 34, Ty Cobb becomes the youngest player to collect 3000 hits when he singles off Red Sox hurler Elmer Myers in a 10 - 0 Tigers win. It takes him just 2,135 games to do that. LF Bobby Veach is 4 for 4, and the Tigers bang out 19 hits. Only RF Harry Heilmann is hitless but still batting .403 on the season.

1941 Hal Newhouser walks 10 batters in a game for the only time but wins anyway: Tigers 12, Yankees 3.

1950: The Gillette Safety Razor Co. pays $800,000 for TV rights to the World Series. Radio rights will add another $175,000 more.

1951: Wearing uniform number 1/8, forty-three inch tall Eddie Gaedel walks on four pitches from Tigers' Bob Cain in his only major league appearance. Bill Veeck's idea of playing the midget was legal at the time but is later outlawed.

The Tigers are 18th in an offense?s most revealing number, OPS (on base percentage and slugging average), and 20th in slugging. They are 20th in overall ERA (3.96), while only six teams have a poorer WHIP (walks plus hits per inning), which, like OPS, tends to tell a more accurate performance story.

■Defensively, the team is little different from a Tigers crew that is 23rd in fielding percentage and ? again, more transparently ? is 27th in defensive efficiency rating, which explains how many fielding opportunities are turned into put-outs.

■Factor in a bullpen that is 27th in the big leagues in ERA and 29th in WHIP, and you sometimes get a game where any number of culprits can lead to a mini-disaster.
