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

October 11 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911 - Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers and Wildfire Schulte of the Chicago Cubs win the newly established Chalmers Awards, which go to the league's most valuable players. Cobb batted .420 with an American League-leading 127 RBI. Cobb led the league in nearly every offensive category; runs 147, hits 248, doubles 47, triples 24, stolen bases 83, slugging .621, ops 1.088, ops+ 196, and total bases 367. Cobb just finished second in homeruns to homerun baker.
Using a point system - 8 for a first-place vote, seven for second, and so on - the eight voting writers give Cobb the maximum 64 points. Winners receive Chalmers automobiles.

1973 The Tigers hire Ralph Houk to be their manager.

2011: The Tigers win Game 3 of the ALCS, 5 - 2 over Texas, but still trail the Rangers, 2 games to 1. Doug Fister allows a 1st-inning run, but then settles down, not giving up another score until the 8th. But by that time, Detroit has put five runs across the plate, on solo homers by Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta off Colby Lewis, another by Miguel Cabrera off Koji Uehara, and a two-run single by Austin Jackson.

This might be the worst assessment I have ever read.

LOL Ausmus gets a C?

I know. Fenech doesn't have any balls to speak up like Sharp, and they don't like him
because of it.
and The freep and detnews are always changing the time stamp and the title of stories as well. Same story, with an extra one or two sentences and they call it an update.
