Riley Greene, the Detroit Tigers’ No.1 draft pick, was taking batting practice in Comerica Park on Friday afternoon, launching home runs with ease.

Hall of Famer Al Kaline was watching from behind a batting cage, and Greene launched a ball onto the Pepsi Porch onto the second deck in right field, and the ball bounced into Kaline’s Corner.

As if the Baseball Gods were in the mood to write pure poetry.
