FLINT, Mich. -- The line of cars pulling into Bethel United Methodist Church stretched around the block and then some, winding around the nearby four-lane road and down a neighborhood street. A local resident walked down the street to complain that he couldn't pull out of his driveway.
It's the type of commotion that might have accompanied a Tigers superstar on the Winter Caravan during their playoff years. But utility infielder Niko Goodrum isn't a star name and he wasn't doing an autograph signing. He was delivering bottled water. And the line winds and unwinds every time, three days a week, celebrity or not at the end.
