June 29 in Tigers and mlb history:

1907 - At Bennett Park Ty Cobb steals home for the first time in his career, victimizing the Cleveland battery of pitcher Heinie Berger and catcher Howard Wakefield.

1968: Jim Northrup's third grand slam ties the major-league record for slams in a month (Rudy York, May 1938), and sets a major-league record for slams in a week. The Tigers win 5 - 2 over Chicago, as Denny McLain tallies his 14th victory.

1972: In a swap of former MVPs, the Braves send 1B Orlando Cepeda to the A's for P Denny McLain.

1983 - Mark Fidrych, in the second year of an extended comeback attempt with the Pawtucket Red Sox (International League) retires. The 1976 American League Rookie of the Year was 2-5 with a 9.68 ERA.

1984: Twins rookie Andre David hits a 2-run home run off Jack Morris in his first major league at bat to spark Minnesota to a 5 - 3 win over Detroit before 44,619. It is the only home run David will hit in the big leagues and it stops Morris's 11-game win streak over the Twins. Detroit wins the nitecap 7 - 5 as Kirk Gibson starts the scoring with a two-run homer in the 1st and ends it with a two-run homer in the 9th. The Tigers also score in the 2nd on back-to-back homers by Chet Lemon and Ruppert Jones.

1986 - Detroit beats Milwaukee, 9 - 5, in the first game of a doubleheader split, making Tigers manager Sparky Anderson the first manager ever to win 600 games in each league.
