Michigan’s own Taylor North brought the state its first Little League World Series title since 1959, a tremendous achievement. And they’re getting recognition tonight from the team that they’re surely hoping to suit up for one day.
The Detroit Tigers honored the squad prior to tonight’s game against Oakland at Comerica Park, presenting each player with their own jersey:
