GRAND RAPIDS -- Every year, the Detroit Tigers Winter Caravan trades uniforms for ties and suit jackets and just like that, household names are suddenly as accessible as your neighborhood mailman.
As the Caravan rolled into West Michigan on Thursday evening to take part in the 22nd annual Whitecaps Community Foundation Winter Banquet, the evening carried a deeper significance than just another session of preseason appearances.
For Cameron Maybin and Don Kelly, it meant returning to the community where their journeys began; only this time, they were returning as inductees into the West Michigan Whitecaps Hall of Fame.
