FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»September 25, 1971: With rookie C Tim Hosley hitting two homers and driving in five runs, the Tigers trip the Yankees, 10–7. Les Cain pitches six innings for the win. Cain finishes with a 10–9 record with 145 innings, but contends he is forced to pitch by Manager Billy Martin while Cain has a sore arm. Cain later claims that it did permanent damage to his arm and he sues the Tigers. In a landmark decision, the Michigan Bureau of Workman's Compensation will order the Tigers to pay Cain $111 a month for the rest of his life. A lump sum payment was later agreed upon.
