The day that everyone in the Motor City looks forward to is finally upon us, as the Detroit Tigers take the field atComerica Park for the first time in regular-season play for the 2022 MLB Season.
And prior to this afternoon’s game, the Tigers had a special guest perform The Star-Spangled Banner, none other than Detroit native musician Jack White. The 12-time Grammy winner and his band performed an instrumental version of the anthem
