October 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1961 - A federal judge rules that Birmingham, Alabama laws against integrated playing fields are illegal, eliminating the last barrier against integration in the Southern Association. The circuit will choose to disband rather than abide the ruling and will be replaced in 1964 by the integrated Southern League.

1979, the Tigers acquire veteran infielder Richie Hebner from the New York Mets for Phil Mankowski and Jerry Morales. Hebner fills in at third and first base in 2 ? seasons with Detroit, driving in 82 runs in his first year with the club.
