Tigers-Indians Postponed By Rain


Johnny Damon's chance to join an exclusive group was postponed when the Detroit Tigers' game didn't even get started because of rain Tuesday night.

A steady drizzle kept the field covered and forced the Tigers into a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, scheduled to start at 4:05 p.m.

Damon is one game shy of becoming the fifth player to play in 140 or more games for 15 straight seasons. Willie Mays did it 15 times and Hank Aaron, Brooks Robinson and Pete Rose 16 apiece.

All-time ironmen Cal Ripken Jr., and Lou Gehrig are not on the list.
