Join WOMC at The Corner Ballpark Thursday morning, Tigers' opening day, for food, fun, music and a chance to run the bases at the site of the former Tiger Stadium at Michigan & Trumbull.

For a $20 donation to Detroit PAL programming, fans get 10 swings to try to hit a home run. No need to pre-register.

Anyone who succeeds in hitting it out of the park will get a commemorative "Ground from the Mound" collectible from Tiger Stadium.

The event takes place 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at The Corner Ballpark. The money raised will support Detroit PAL programs, which help thousands of Detroit kids a year.

JoAnne Purtan will be broadcasting live from the site Thursday morning from 6-10 a.m. Tune in on 104.3 WOMC or on the Audacy App.
