September 22, 1924 At Navin Field, Charlie Gehringer makes his debut as a defensive replacement in a Tigers 9-1 win over the Red Sox. He fields two balls cleanly and turns a double play. 

Gehringer’s first manager was Ty Cobb, who treated the youngster as if he didn’t exist. Cobb was smart enough to recognize that Gehringer’s batting stroke was a natural, and he didn’t tinker with it.
