	1940 Detroit Tigers Roster The 1940 Detroit Tigers team roster seen on this page includes every player who appeared in a game during the 1940 season.

"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." - Babe Ruth Please consider sponsoring this page which is available. Baseball Almanac started in 2000.
