“Opening Day in Detroit is less than 60 days away, and we’re very excited about the return of Tigers baseball,” said Ryan Gustafson, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Ilitch Sports + Entertainment. “With a great home schedule and a tremendous lineup of special events and giveaways, there will be something for everyone. We look forward to seeing our fans on Opening Day, and unveiling our brand-new videoboard and additional enhanced fan experiences throughout Comerica Park.”

After receiving the call last December, Leyland will be inducted into the 2024 class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame on July 21 in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Leyland served as the Tigers’ skipper from 2006-13, leading Detroit to one of the greatest turnarounds in baseball history when it reached the World Series in his first season. The Tigers reached the postseason four times under Leyland’s tutelege, including three straight American League Central titles from 2011-13 and another World Series appearance in 2012. Leyland, a three-time Manager of the Year winner during his 22 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, Colorado Rockies and Detroit, retired after the 2013 campaign with a career record of 1,769-1,728-2, including 700-597 with the Tigers.
