December 14 in Tigers and mlb history:

1882 - At its first annual convention, the American Association establishes the first permanent staff of umpires in major league history. Previously, the National League and AA umpires were local men hired on game day by the home club.

1900 - Suffering from a drop in attendance in 1900, National League owners vote to cut costs with a 16-player limit after May 1st. The Players Association claims the move is aimed at pressuring players into signing by shrinking the number of jobs.

1922: In a joint meeting of the two leagues, the ban on non-waiver trades after June 15 is approved. The National League favors a 50-player limit until June 15, the American League votes for 40. Judge Landis breaks the deadlock in favor of 40.
Compensation of World Series umpires is changed from a percentage of the players' pool to a flat $2,000.

1922: Still smarting over the rejection of the official scorer's decision in the Ty Cobb case, the national baseball writers' group meets and votes to back the New York group's protest. Fred Lieb, who had filled in the Associated Press box score giving Cobb the disputed hit, asks Ban Johnson to revise the records to .399 for Cobb. Johnson complains of not receiving box scores from some writers, who are appointed by the clubs as official scorers.

1932: The Washington Senators get Earl Whitehill from the Detroit Tigers for Firpo Marberry and Carl Fischer.

1933: Goose Goslin of the Washington Senators is sent to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for John Stone.

1938 - Major league teams adopt several resolutions. The National League allows the Cincinnati Reds to play their season opener one day before other teams, as a way of honoring the 100th anniversary of baseball and of the 1869 Red Stockings being the first professional team.
In other news, Will Harridge is re-elected as American League president and given a 10-year term. The AL permits the Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Athletics to play night games. Finally, the major leagues agree on a standard ball but disagree on increasing rosters from 23 to 25 players. Judge Landis will eventually decide on 25.

1953 - Detroit Tigers shortstop Harvey Kuenn, who led the AL in hits with 209 and hit .308 for the season, is voted American League Rookie of the Year.

1994: Labor talks headed by federal mediator Bill Usery aimed at settling the ongoing strike break down.

1998 - Detroit signs free agent C Bill Haselman to a two-year contract.

2012: An?bal S?nchez agrees to a 5-year, $80 million deal to remain with the Detroit Tigers, helping keep their 2012 World Series rotation intact.

December 15 in Tigers and mlb history:

1883 - In Louisville a "first-class colored team" is formed. The team, later known as the Falls Cities, becomes one of the nation's best black teams. It will join the National Colored Base Ball League (NCBBL) in 1887, but will apparently disband shortly after the collapse of the NCBBL in the first week of its season.

1886 - The American Association meets and ratifies the new rules. It also approves the new clause that allows a club to reserve a player for as long as it wants, not just for next year's contract.

1896 - The first pitching machine, created by Princeton professor Charles E. Hinton, is demonstrated in the university's gymnasium. The mathematics instructor's device resembles a rifle which shoots the ball toward the batter.

1920: The National League reveals a most telling statistic, pointing out the changes in the game: the use of 27,924 baseballs during the season, an increase of 10,248 over 1919.

1932: A joint meeting of American League and National League owners approves the concept of "chain store" baseball, developed as the St. Louis Cardinals farm system, despite strenuous objections by Judge Landis.

1933 - The major leagues agree on a uniform ball to be livelier than the National League ball of recent seasons, to match the American League balls.
Owners also agree to ban Sunday doubleheaders until after June 15th.

1938 - The Red Sox send Pinky Higgins and P Archie McKain to the Tigers for pitchers Elden Auker and Jake Wade, and OF Chet Morgan.

1945 The Tigers release Tommy Bridges, longtime ace pitcher. He has one of the greatest full names in baseball history: Thomas Jefferson Davis Bridges.

1964: Tigers owner John Fetzer announces a 2-year television pact between Major League Baseball and ABC-TV. The network pays $12.2 million to telecast games on 25 Saturdays, Independence Day, and Labor Day.

1965 - Detroit trades P Phil Regan to the Dodgers for IF Dick Tracewski. Regan will lead the National League in saves in 1966 while winning 14 of 15 decisions.

1969 - The National Labor Relations Board accepts the case of fired umpires Bill Valentine and Al Salerno, thereby issuing a challenge to baseball's antitrust status.

1994: The owners approve a salary cap plan by a vote of 25-3, but agree to delay implementing it so that another round of talks with the players can be held as the strike remains unresolved.

2000: The Tigers acquire P Matt Perisho from the Rangers for pitchers Kevin Mobley and Brandon Villafuerte.

2008 Detroit signs free agent and defensive specialist Adam Everett.

2009: Commissioner Bud Selig announces that he will chair a 14-person committee to analyze ways to improve baseball's on-field product. The group will look at issues such as the pace of the game, umpiring, instant replay and possible rule changes.
