For many sports fans in Detroit, one of the annual rites of spring is attending the Detroit Tigers’ Opening Day at Comerica Park. It’s a communal gathering filled with cheer and hope.
I’ve always enjoyed that day, not only for the game and start of a new baseball season, but also because there’s something uplifting about seeing so many happy people who have brushed away a winter’s worth of anticipation to come together in one place and start the cycle repeated for more than 120 years around here.
