This is #Tigers fan Voz, aka Chewbacca. He’s catching a tan in 40-degree weather because he’s just not into shirts. “I run hot,” he said. https://t.co/VbZlKQMPI4

Not only did the fan become a viral sensation online, but he also got to watch the Tigers pick up their sixth victory of the season in dramatic fashion.
