Chevy Readies for MLB’s Opening Day by Bringing ZR2 to Comerica Park

“The Chevrolet Fountain at Comerica Park is a significant representation of the robust and valuable partnership we hold with Chevrolet,” adds Steve Harms, Tigers V.P. of Corporate Partnerships. “Recognizable throughout Michigan and Major League Baseball, we are proud to display such an iconic symbol of community for everyone to see and celebrate.”

Chevrolet is the official vehicle of Major League Baseball and the official automotive sponsor of the “Play Ball” initiative to support America’s favorite pastime. From 2006 to 2017, Chevrolet reached more than 6.7 million kids through its youth baseball programs. The automotive brand has donated more than 136,000 equipment kits to youth baseball initiatives and held more than 1,637 free public clinics in partnership with local Chevrolet dealers.

Baseball at the DIA

Fans can celebrate the great American pastime throughout the entire MLB season by visiting a special Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) exhibition featuring artwork from the museum’s collection plus rare baseball cards, memorabilia and collectibles from the Rochester, Michigan-based E. Powell Miller collection. The exhibit opens March 29.

“Chevrolet has such a natural connection with baseball — through our long partnership with MLB and our dealers’ dedicated support of youth baseball programs around the country — that it made perfect sense for us to play a role in bringing such a wonderful display of baseball memorabilia and art to life at the DIA,” says Edwards.
