Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire gave some hints as to how his team would acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement prior to tonight’s opener against the Cincinnati Reds at The Great American Ballpark, and they made good on it.

“Major League Baseball actually did this shirt, put it in everybody’s locker. We all know what we’re trying to do here and that’s awareness, making people aware of what’s been going on in our country,” Gardenhire said while wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt.

Several members of the team knelt during the National Anthem, including Jeimer Candelario, Niko Goodrum, Joe Jimenez, Cameron Maybin and Christin Stewart. First base coach Dave Clark joined them.

Prior to the anthem, a video from The Players Alliance (made up of over 100 current and former black players) was played on the venue’s scoreboard. During the video, all players from the Tigers and Reds both knelt while clutching a black rope.
