On December 2, 1937 — 1937 – At the minor league meeting in Milwaukee, WI, the Detroit Tigers send Gee Walker, Marv Owen and Mike Tresh to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Vern Kennedy, Tony Piet and Dixie Walker. The trade causes an uproar with Tigers fans, and owner Walter Briggs issues an announcement from his Miami, FL home that “the deal was made with my approval.” Kennedy will start next season with nine straight wins, but end up the year at 12-9.
