Scoreboard
P: When the Detroit Tigers, picked to roam in the American League's first division, turned out to be a bunch of second-division tabby cats, General Manager Jack McHale did the obvious thing: he fired Jack Tighe, his genial field manager ("Jack tried to be all things to all men"), replaced him with an unknown named Henry Willis Patrick ("Bill") Norman, manager of Detroit's Charleston (W.
