Detroit — Cars were lined up for miles Friday afternoon, clogging Rosa Parks Boulevard on both sides of the freeway and wrapping around the site of old Tiger Stadium, waiting patiently to pull up to the big black semi-truck parked on Cochrane Street.
The truck belonged to The Players Alliance, who brought their Pull Up Neighbor tour to Flint and Detroit Thursday, distributing baseball gear, food and COVID-19 relief essentials to more than 2,000 families.
Former Tiger Cameron Maybin, who is one of the founding members of The Players Alliance, was the headliner and he was joined by current Tigers pitcher John Schreiber, pitching coach Chris Fetter and Angels prospect and Detroit native Werner Blakely, Jr.
