1922-1923

1922-The Detroit Tigers 79-75 record in Ty Cobb's second season as manager was good for 3rd place 15 games behind the New York Yankees. The Georgia Peach hit .401 (3rd and last time in carreer) finishing a distant second to George Sisler of the St. Louis Cardinals who hits the heck out of the baseball all season and ends the year batting .420. Bobby Veech leads the team with 126 RBIs. Herman Pillette led the pitching staff with a record of 19-12.

1923-With a record of 83-71 the Detroit Tigers baseball club finished in second place, still a distant 16 games behind the New York Yankees. With a record of 45-32 at home the Tigers treated the Navin Field fans to some good summer baseball. The road was a different story. Going 38-39 away from home doomed any thoughts of taking the division from the Yankees. Harry Heilman wins the batting crown hitting .403 and knocking in 115 runs. Hooks Dauss goes 21-13 to lead the pitching staff.
