HOW HOW THEYTHEY BECAME KNOWN BECAME KNOWN AS “TIGERS”AS “TIGERS”Research reveals the nickname “Tigers” was first applied to the Detroit club in 1895. Baseball historians had long credited

Philip J. Reid, city editor of the Detroit Evening News, with first using the name in print in 1896. However, George Stallings,manager of the Detroit team which was then a member of the Western League, took credit for the nickname because he had hisplayers wear black-and-brown striped stockings which, he said, reminded the fans of “tiger stripes.”

It appears, though, that it was actually an unidentified headline writer at the Detroit Free Press who originated the Tiger nick-name in 1895, a year before Stallings became manager and before the team was wearing striped stockings. Previously, theteam had simply been called “Detroit,” “the Detroits,” sometimes the “Wolverines” and at times the “Creams.”

On April 16, 1895, the Free Press printed a headline over a baseball story which read, “Strouthers’ Tigers Showed Up VeryNicely.” On the same page, a string of baseball notes was headed “Notes of the Detroit Tigers of 1895.” Curiously, not once ineither story was the word “Tigers” used.

From then on, the Free Press fairly regularly called the club the “Tigers” and in May, 1895, The Sporting Life began using“Tigers” in its dispatches from Detroit. However, up to July 1, 1895, careful research disclosed that neither the Detroit EveningNews nor its Sunday paper, the News-Tribune, had ever used “Tigers.”


THE SEASON: The VSL Tigers finished with a 38-32 record (.543), good for fourth place in the Venezuelan Summer League.

THE BATS: Catcher Orlando Gonzalez finished second in the Venezuelan Summer League with 80 hits, while he tied forthird with 48 RBI and tied for eighth with a .319 batting average. Outfielder Alexis Espinoza led the league with 12 homeruns. Outfielder Luis Salas led the league with 18 doubles, while infielder Luis Palacios finished second with 16 doubles andthird with 79 hits. Palacios hit safely in 16 straight games May 28-June 15, batting .400 (24x60) with six doubles, a home runand seven RBI.

THE ARMS: Righthanded pitcher Lester Oliveros led the Venezuelan Summer League with 19 saves, while he tied for thirdwith 27 appearances.
