Detroit Tigers' Daz Cameron's first MLB hit: Like father, like son, 25 years later

More than 25 years separate the first MLB hits for Detroit Tigers outfielder Daz Cameron and his father, Mike, but the situations — both involving the Tigers — are eerily similar.

Mike got his on Aug. 30, 1995, the third game of his career. He was playing for the Chicago White Sox and facing the Tigers in a night game at what was then known as new Comiskey Park.

Daz got his on Sept. 11, 2020, the fourth game of his career. He was playing for the Tigers and facing the White Sox in a night game at Guaranteed Rate Field, which was known as new Comiskey Park until 2003.
