Detroit Tigers' Opening Day: Jack White, Taylor North Little League to appear

A Cass Technical High School grad will be on the field for the Detroit Tigers' 2022 Opening Day, and we're not talking about one of the players.

Jack White, the Detroit native and 12-time Grammy winner, is returning to his hometown Friday for the Tigers' first game of the season. He and his band will perform an instrumental version of the national anthem before the 1:10 p.m. clash with the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.

Sports fans have no doubt heard his music before — "Seven Nation Army" has nearly a half-billion views on YouTube and has become a stadium anthem.
