Detroit didn’t just get a halftime show on Thursday. Detroit got a moment. Seeing hometown icons Eminem and Jack White share a stage during the Thanksgiving Day game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers felt like the city itself grabbed a microphone and reminded the country who it is. And then, Tarik Skubal made it personal.
“Goosebumps… @Eminem @jackwhite," the Detroit Tigers' ace posted on X. "You guys available April 3rd?”
That date? The Tigers' 2026 Home Opener against the St. Louis Cardinals.
It was a simple post from Skubal, but one that garnered a city-sized reaction.
