Rainbow dazzles sky during Detroit Tigers' Aretha Franklin tribute

Whether it was coincidence or not, this was beautiful.

Since Aretha Franklin's death last week, the Comerica Park scoreboard has repeatedly displayed a tribute to Franklin, with the word "Respect" next to a picture of the Queen of Soul.

On Tuesday, something incredible happened: During a moment of silence for Franklin before the Detroit Tigers-Chicago Cubs game, a rainbow appeared, arcing over the scoreboard during a moment of silence.

Some pictures say it all.

Free Press education reporter Lori Higgins was at the game. She photgraphed the rainbow and said Franklin songs were also playing between innings.
