FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»September 3, 2002:
Andy Van Hekken (1–0), with a fastball topping out in the mid–80s, becomes the first American Leaguer to throw a complete game shutout in his debut since Mike Norris in 1975, and the first Tiger since Schoolboy Rowe in 1933. He stops Cleveland 4–0. The Holland, Michigan native was 5–0 at Toledo (AAA) before his promotion.
