Detroit Tigers Black in Baseball Weekend

This weekend, the Detroit Tigers are hosting "Black in Baseball Weekend" as they host the Cincinnati Reds. The weekend celebrates and honors the contributions of Black baseball players to baseball history and Tigers history.

Friday includes a Hip Hop Friday Night Party in the Park, featuring a post-game concert by Ludacris with a free block party starting at 4:30pm featuring Wayne State University Divine 9 step show at 5:30pm with food trucks, a Black-owned business market and more!

On Saturday, we celebrate and honor Black trailblazers in baseball history and former Negro Leagues players and the Detroit Stars. It’s our 29th annual Negro Leagues Tribute Game. This day will also feature a Detroit Stars jersey giveaway for the first 15,000 fans to enter Comerica Park. Fans can also hear from Negro Leagues players during a pregame Q&A at the Comerica Big Cat Court, then enjoy a curated mini concourse museum under the Comerica Landing and photo ops throughout the ballpark.

Sunday, the Tigers will be celebrating the past and looking forward to the future by hosting and recognizing high school athletes from the Black Baseball Motor City Classic.

Throughout the weekend, fans can purchase Detroit Stars and Negro Leagues merchandise at the D Shop and they can also purchase at the pop-up at the block party on Friday.
