Opening Day for the Tigers is always special.
And if you can forget about the temperatures in the 40s, Friday's game should be chock full of entertainment aside from the game itself against Boston, which starts at 1:10 p.m.
Here's what the Tigers have planned:
- All fans at Friday's game will receive a "Mr. I" button upon entry to Comerica Park. Fans are encouraged to be in their seats at 12:30 p.m. for opening ceremonies.
- The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by former Tigers catcher and 2017 Hall of Fame Inductee Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez.
- The national anthem will be performed by the Wayne State University Quartet.
- Honor Guard Introduction: The United States Marine Corps color guard.
- Military Flyover: Four A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" aircraft from the 107th Fighter Squadron and part of the 127th Wing located at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, MI.
- The game ball will be delivered by Technical Sergeant Louis Jones of the Selfridge Air National Guard from Detroit.
- God Bless America will be performed by Staff Sergeant Amy Gould of the 126 Army Band during the 7th inning stretch.
