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

August 28 in Tigers and mlb history:

1921: Despite three doubles by Babe Ruth, the Tigers drop the Yankees 7 - 3. Ruth starts a record streak in which he gets at least one extra-base hit in nine straight games. Tigers stars of the game are CF Ty Cobb, LF Bobby Veach, and P Bert Cole.

1961: At Washington, Rocky Colavito and Al Kaline belt 1st-inning homers as Detroit wins 7 - 3 to cut New York's lead to 1 1/2 games. Rocky now has 39 homers and 120 RBIs. Jake Wood hits a 6th inning grand slam to complete the scoring for Detroit.

1969: Detroit OF Jim Northrup goes 6 for 6, as the Tigers beat the A's 5 - 3. Northrup's 6th hit is a home run over the roof in the bottom of the 13th to win the game. The first 6-hit game for Detroit since June 24 1962, when the Tigers hitter with a 6 hit game was Rocky Colavito with seven hits in a 22 inning marathon.

2000: The Players' association exercises its option to extend the Collective bargaining agreement, ensuring labor peace through October 31, 2001. The expected move comes as no surprise as the players appear to be happy with the November 1996 deal, but the owners have expressed concerns the present CBA has widened the talent gap between the high and low-revenue markets due to escalating salaries.
