The boys are back! Opening Day in Detroit is a citywide celebration

“Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away…
The boys are back in town” —Thin Lizzy

Grab a winter hat. Bundle up. And get ready for a party.

Finally, happily, gloriously — can I get an amen? — the Tigers are back and will play the Boston Red Sox at 1 today in the home opener at Comerica Park.

Opening Day in Detroit marks the ceremonial start of spring in Michigan, even if it might still feel like winter today with a forecast calling for a wild chill somewhere between nasty and freakin’ cold.
