Stark's 'Useless Information Dept' contains some interesting tidbits about the Tigers

Fun article.



Here are some tidbits:



&box-• There wasn't a single time last year that the Tigers got a win from their starting pitchers five games in a row. So naturally, all five Tigers starters won a game in the first five games of this season.



• The Tigers hadn't hit 15 home runs in any three-game span in their entire history -- all 105 seasons worth. So how many did they hit in the first three games of this season? That would be (what else?) 15.



• Last year, Dmitri Young hit three home runs on Opening Day. This year, he and Placido Polanco were the only Tigers starters who didn't make a trot in those first three games.



• Last year in Detroit, Shelton had no two-homer games all season. This year, he became the fourth man in history to have two two-homer games just in the first three games of the season. The others: Barry Bonds (2002), Eddie Mathews (1958) and Dolph Camilli (1935).-box&
