Tigers Card of the Day
Bill Freehan
After becoming one of six American League players to reach the .300 circle in '64, Bill tailed off last season. The big backstop was second in fielding in the A. L. in 1964 with a .993 average, just one point behind the all-time Tiger record. Bill's big thrill? Socking two home runs in a game vs. the Twins.

Ty is the only player ever to have amassed 50 stolen bases and 30 triples in any 162-game span. His feat overlapped the 1912 and 1913 campaigns.
Though on the disabled list for more than a month last season, Mickey still compiled the highest batting average on the club. In 1966, the outfielder's favorite team was Cleveland. Against the Indians' pitching, Mickey batted an incredible .459. As a pinch-hitter for The Bengals, Mick batted .333 last year.

Back to the Front! Tigers card back du jour...
Tom Bridges
Pitching Tips - How to Grip the Ball. Most major league pitchers grip the ball with the fingers across the seams, to obtain a firm purchase. Tom Bridges of the Detroit Tigers, one of the most effective young pitchers in the game, holds the ball thus. Yet a few well-known moundsmen hold the ball with the fingers between the seams. This is a matter of choice. But always be sure to hold the ball the same way, both for your curve and fast ball. Do not curl your thumb back when about to throw your curve, a familiar habit among schoolboy pitchers. Smart batters notice such habits. Hold the ball with medium. firmness, keeping the fingers and wrist flexible.
