Lidstrom joins fellow Detroit icons for first pitch at Tigers Opening Day

Detroit's sports legends came out to the ballpark for a special Opening Day on Thursday.

Nicklas Lidstrom was one of Detroit's icons who threw out the ceremonial first pitch during the Detroit Tigers Opening Day against the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park.
The retired Detroit Red Wings captain joined former Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace, former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson Jr. and Tigers infielder Miguel Cabrera for the special ceremony.

The crew were brought out to honor Cabrera's last career Opening Day. The 12-time MLB All-Star is retiring from the MLB after 21 seasons, 16 of those seasons were spent in Detroit.
After the pitch, the legends posed for a picture at the mound.

Later in the day, the Red Wings hosted the Tigers for their game against the Buffalo Sabres at Little Caesars Arena. Catcher Jake Rogers performed the ceremonial puck drop.

The Red Wings also sported warm up jerseys that featured the Tigers' logo.

It was a home run of a day in Detroit.
