For casuals looking to show some Tigers spirit this season, here's a cheat sheet to get ready for Detroit's Opening Day.
⭐️ Star players: First baseman Spencer Torkelson and center fielder Riley Greene are the main draws. The Tigers are without future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera for the first time in 16 seasons.
On the mound, Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty are names to watch. In Sunday's win , Flaherty pitched six innings, giving up four hits and only one earned run.
🌭 Opening Day events: The Downtown Detroit Partnership is hosting a free Opening Day party at Grand Circus Park.
Tickets start at $10 for a rooftop bar crawl including Exodos Rooftop, Jameson's Pub and Delux Lounge.
🎙️ What's new: Comerica's new 15,600-square-foot videoboard is MLB's second largest.
Fans watching at home will notice a new voice on Bally Sports Detroit: Jason Benetti , who fans regard as one of the most respected broadcasters in the business.
The players also have a new home run celebration using a pizza spear resembling the one carried by the Little Caesars mascot.
What they're saying: The new celebration was Torkelson's idea, according to Greene.
"Is there any way we can get the 'Pizza Pizza' guy's stick? — I think I heard someone say that was in a commercial shoot," Torkelson told MLB Network this week.
If you go: Friday's game at 1:10pm is in high demand — standing-room-only tickets for $99 are the only non-resale option available. There's a 40% chance of rain and a high of 46 for game day.
There are still tickets left in several sections for games on Saturday and Sunday .
