The Detroit Tigers' 1989 season was a season in American baseball. It involved the Detroit Tigers attempting to win the AL East.
Offseason Regular season In August, pitcher Charles Hudson, driving drunk, slammed his Mercury Cougar into a telephone pole in a Detroit suburb. He broke his left leg and his right knee needed reconstructive surgery. Hudson would later discuss how he began to drink as he struggled in his baseball career. He would not pitch in the major leagues again and the Tigers released him in November 1989.[7] Season standings Notable transactions Roster | 1989 Detroit Tigers | | Roster | | Pitchers | | Catchers Infielders | | Outfielders | | Manager Coaches | Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in | Pos | Player | G | AB | H | Avg. | HR | RBI | | C | | 122 | 396 | 104 | .263 | 10 | 43 | | 1B | | 137 | 385 | 103 | .268 | 7 | 37 | | 2B | | 148 | 509 | 128 | .251 | 28 | 85 | | 3B | | 98 | 266 | 57 | .214 | 7 | 21 | | SS | | 121 | 449 | 109 | .243 | 5 | 43 | | LF | | 117 | 353 | 85 | .241 | 11 | 46 | | CF | | 119 | 444 | 114 | .257 | 1 | 18 | | RF | | 127 | 414 | 98 | .237 | 7 | 47 | | DH | | 90 | 318 | 95 | .299 | 5 | 35 | Other batters Note: G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in | Player | G | AB | H | Avg. | HR | RBI | | | 19 | 49 | 13 | .265 | 1 | 10 | Pitching Starting pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; IP = Innings pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts | Player | G | IP | W | L | ERA | SO | | | 16 | 78 | 4 | 5 | 4.73 | 40 | Other pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; IP = Innings pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts Relief pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; SV = Saves; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts Farm system [11] Notes References
