Just in case you were curious, Hank Greenberg smashed 58 home runs in 1938. That's the Detroit Tigers' single-season record.
He and I were in a tight home run race that season. Greenberg only finished with 58 more homers than me. What a year!
On August 25, 1952, Virgil Trucks threw his second no-hitter of the year for the Tigers. Detroit beat the Yankees 1-0.
Crazy how Trucks and I combined for 2 no-hitters that season. INSANE.
On May 2, 1939, Lou Gehrig saw his 2,130 consecutive game streak end when he sat out against the Tigers. The Yankees won the game 22-2.
I'll say it, the umps were trash and totally screwed the Tigers out of a win that day.
On May 1, 1991, Nolan Ryan threw a no-hitter against the Blue Jays at 44 years old. He struck out 16, and it was his 7th career no-hitter.
It's crazy that he and I have combined for 7 no-hitters in our careers. WILD.
On April 30, 1967, the Tigers were no-hit by the Orioles. The Tigers won the game 2-1. Tigers hitters walked 10 times in the win.
Detroit also went on to win the second game of the doubleheader by a score of 6-4. Classic Tigers. Am I right or am I right? Or am I right?
Does anyone else ever think about how Julio Franco hit .309 in 125 games with the Braves when he was 45 years old?
99 hits, 18 doubles, 3 triples, 6 homers, and 57 RBI. I don't understand.
