July 25 in Tigers and mlb history:
1908: With the Highlanders leading the Tigers 3 - 2 in the 8th, Detroit scores two runs on a Ty Cobb triple. With lefty Claude Rossman the next hitter, New York's new manager Kid Elberfeld moves righty pitcher Jack Chesbro to 1B and replaces him with first baseman Hal Chase. Chase allows a fly ball that scores Cobb, then goes back to 1B and Chesbro resumes his spot on the mound. It is Chase's only pitching appearance as the Tigers win, 5 - 3.
1959: Against Detroit, Yankee first baseman Moose Skowron reaching for a wide throw, collides with Tiger runner Coot Veal. Skowron's arm is broken in two places and he is out for the rest of the season. Marv Throneberry will fill in at 1B. The Yanks win, 9 - 8, when Yogi Berra hits a home run in the 9th with Mickey Mantle on. Prior to the Yogi home run, Bobby Richardson and Fritz Brickell hit their first major league homers for New York. Berra's home run erases five Yankee errors, three by 3B Hector Lopez.
1966 - Red Sox great Ted Williams is inducted into the Hall of Fame. In his induction speech the "Spendid Splinter" makes a strong appeal for the inclusion of Negro League stars at Cooperstown.
1967: Race riots in Detroit force postponement of a Tigers-Orioles game. The games scheduled for the 26th and 27th are shifted to Baltimore.
1993 - Detroit P Mike Moore hurls a one-hit, 3 - 0 shutout over the Royals. Wally Joyner's 2nd-inning single is the only Kansas City safety.
1999: The Tigers defeat the Red Sox, 9 - 1, as 1B Tony Clark homers from both sides of the plate for the second time this season.
