Tigers' A.J. Hinch Says He Was Nearly Hit By Car on Field During Opener vs. White Sox

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch had a harrowing experience on Opening Day.

Speaking to reporters ahead of Saturday's game between the Tigers and Chicago White Sox, Hinch revealed he was almost hit by a car when he ran onto the field before the first pitch for Thursday's opener.

There doesn't seem to be any video evidence to see how close Hinch came to the car.

As part of the pregame festivities at Guaranteed Rate Field, the White Sox brought some of their players onto the field in a car. Hinch evidently nearly got clipped by one on his way to home plate for the exchange of lineup cards.
