Brian Andrew Dubois (born April 18, 1967) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for two seasons.
 He played for the Detroit Tigers for six games during the 1989 Detroit Tigers season and 12 games during the 1990 Detroit Tigers season.
Andrew Mark Miller (born May 21, 1985) is an American professional baseball relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball (MLB).
 He previously played for the Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Yankees.
 In 2017, he earned his first major championship in the World Baseball Classic as a member of the United States national baseball team.
 Miller attended the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and played college baseball for the Tar Heels before the Detroit Tigers drafted him.
 After beginning his MLB career primarily as a starting pitcher, Miller converted to full-time relief in 2012, serving in middle relief, setup and closer roles.
 He has pitched in three playoffs while his clubs have appeared in five.
 At UNC, he won the "Baseball America" College Player of the Year and Roger Clemens Awards.
 In his Major League career, he has been an All-Star selection, and has won the American League (AL) Reliever of the Year and the AL Championship Series Most Valuable Player Awards (ALCS MVP).
Steven Byrne Baker (born August 30, 1956) is a former Major League Baseball (mlb) pitcher who played for four seasons.
 He pitched for the Detroit Tigers from 1978 to 1979, the Oakland Athletics from 1982 to 1983, and the St. Louis Cardinals in 1983.
 He was originally drafted by the New York Mets in the 18th round of the 1974 MLB Draft, but did not sign with them, instead choosing to attend college at the University of Oregon.
 With things not working out in Oregon, Baker left school his freshman year and returned to El Cajon, California.
 Baker regrouped and was masterful in a season with the Grossmont Junior College Baseball team in El Cajon and he signed with the Detroit Tigers as an amateur free agent on May 10, 1976.
The following is a list of Seattle Mariners uniform promotion games.
 The games are often known as the "Turn Back the Clock Night" where they don throwback uniforms.
 The Mariners have played games in promotional uniforms since the 1993 season, excluding 1997, and 2000–2004.
 In 1994, the Mariners played the Oakland Athletics in a promotion titled "Salute to the [Seattle] Rainiers" where the two teams donned 1955 Pacific Coast League uniforms.
 In 1995, the Mariners wore uniforms from the Seattle Steelheads, a short-lived Negro league baseball team based in Seattle, Washington.
 Although not a "throwback", the Mariners have played two games in futuristic styled uniforms on a promotion night titled, "Turn Ahead the Clock".
 The "Turn Ahead the Clock" game was originated by the Mariners promotional staff in 1998, and in 1999 the promotion was picked up by 19 other Major League Baseball (MLB) franchises.
 Outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. helped design the original 1998 uniforms.
 Although the league-wide promotion has been criticized, the original Mariners' promotion proved successful.
 In all, the Mariners have played 13 uniform promotion games.
 Their all-time record is seven wins, and six losses.
 The Mariners have played the Kansas City Royals three times, including their first jersey promotion game on May 21, 1993.
 The Mariners have also played the Oakland Athletics (three times), the Milwaukee Brewers (twice), the Minnesota Twins (once), the San Diego Padres (three times), the Detroit Tigers (once), the Cleveland Indians (once), and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (once).
 The Mariners have played eight uniform promotion games at home, and six away.
The Detroit Tigers are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Detroit, Michigan.
 They play in the American League Central division.
 Pitchers for the Tigers have thrown seven no-hitters in franchise history.
 A no-hitter is officially recognized by Major League Baseball only "when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings.
 In a no-hit game, a batter may reach base via a walk, an error, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference."
 No-hitters of less than nine complete innings were previously recognized by the league as official; however, several rule alterations in 1991 changed the rule to its current form.
 A no-hitter is common enough that only one team in Major League Baseball has never had a pitcher accomplish the feat.
 A perfect game, a special subcategory of no-hitter, has yet to be thrown in Tigers history.
 As defined by Major League Baseball, "in a perfect game, no batter reaches any base during the course of the game."
 This feat came closest on June 2, 2010 when Armando Galarraga lost his perfect game bid against the Cleveland Indians with two outs in the ninth due to the incorrect call made by a first base umpire Jim Joyce.
 But there are two other times when the Tigers perfect game bids were lost with two outs in the ninth, one in 1932 and the other in 1983.
 The Tigers lead all franchises with three perfect game bids lost with two outs in the ninth.
The 1968 Detroit Tigers won the 1968 World Series, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals four games to three.
 The 1968 baseball season, known as the "Year of the Pitcher", was the Detroit Tigers 68th since they entered the American League in 1901, their eighth pennant, and third World Series championship.
 Detroit pitcher Denny McLain won the Cy Young Award and was named the American League's Most Valuable Player after winning 31 games.
 Mickey Lolich pitched three complete games in the World Series – and won all three – to win World Series MVP honors.
David Brian Maxcy (born May 4, 1971) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Detroit Tigers for two seasons.
 He pitched 41 games during the 1995 Detroit Tigers season, and pitched two more during the 1996 Detroit Tigers season.
The 2009 Major League Baseball season began on April 5, 2009, the regular season was extended two days for a one-game playoff between the Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins to decide the American League Central Division champion.
 The postseason began the next day with the Division Series.
 The 2009 World Series began on October 28, and ended on November 4, with the New York Yankees defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games; and for the ninth year in a row, the defending World Series champion (the Phillies) failed to repeat the previous year's run.
 This was the second time the season was completed in November.
 The only other occasion was the 2001 World Series, that because of the delaying of the end of that season because of the September 11 attacks as November baseball would be guaranteed when Game 4 was played on Sunday, November 1.
 The American League champion had home field advantage for the World Series by virtue of winning the All-Star Game on July 14 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, 4–3.
 In addition, the annual Civil Rights Game became a regular season game, and was played June 20 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, when the host Cincinnati Reds lost to the Chicago White Sox in an interleague game, 10–8.
 Both teams wore replicas of their 1965 uniforms in the contest.
The 1979 Detroit Tigers finished in fifth place in the American League East with a record of 85-76, 18 games behind the Orioles.
 They outscored their opponents 770 to 738.
 The Tigers drew 1,630,929 fans to Tiger Stadium in 1979, ranking 7th of the 14 teams in the American League.
 This season is most notable for both the Tigers' involvement in the infamous Disco Demolition Night, of which they were the visiting team to the Chicago White Sox and declared winners by forfeit, as well as for their mid-season hiring of Sparky Anderson as manager.
 Anderson would manage the Tigers through the end of the 1995 season.
Disco Demolition Night was an ill-fated baseball promotion in 1979 on July 12 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois.
