9th Annual Event kicks off with luncheon and ends with fireworks.

On its surface, the Detroit Tiger’s annual recognition of Latino players focuses on the contributions and heroics of the Major League players who have played for the Tigers in days gone by up through the 12 players on today’s roster of 26 team members. But the celebrations have come to mean so much more to the Latino players and the Latino and Hispanic community that cheers for the Tigers win or lose.

This year’s festivities began with a luncheon in the Tiger Club at Comerica Park on Friday, August 19th attended by more than 150 invited guests from the Detroit Latino community. The luncheon program honored 1984 Tiger World Series Champion Bárbaro Garbey. Garbey was a key member of the Tigers World Series Championship Team playing in 110 games that season and hitting 287.

Entertainment for luncheon guests was provided by Sean Blackman’s In Transit – Latino Trio. This year’s Fiesta Tigres game vs the California Angels was played later that same evening and made history as the first Tiger baseball game to be broadcast live in Spanish for radio listeners. The game was broadcast on local Radio Explosiva WSDS AM with Carlos Guillen doing the play-by-play and Mari Montes as color analyst.

The pre-game ceremonies were a highlight of Latino cultural experiences, leading off with the display of the national flags of current Detroit Tiger Latino players including Cuba, Curacao, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Curaçao.

Three Detroit-area folkloric dance groups entertained the crowd of more than 28,000 with ethnic dance performances wearing traditional, colorful dresses from Mexico, including Raices Mexicanas de Detroit, Balet Folklorico Detroit and Moyocoyanilzel.

Southwest Detroit vocalist Caleb Gutierrez sang a spirited rendition of the National Anthem to the delight of the local crowd.

Luncheon honoree Bárbaro Garbey threw out the ceremonial first pitch and the game was on! Tiger pitcher Matt Manning threw a strong game for the first five innings and gave up one run – a homerun in the second inning. Unfortunately, that one run by the Angels stood up as the only run of the game by either team and the Tigers lost the first game of the weekend series 1-0 to the Angels.

The fans who stayed til the end of the game were treated to an exciting Friday night fireworks display put on by the Tigers with the downtown skyline as a backdrop. The ooohs and ahaaas of the remaining fans summed up the local Latino community’s appreciation to the Tigers for their tribute to their Latino players and fans. 

El noveno evento anual comenzó con un almuerzo y terminó con fuegos artificiales.

El reconocimiento anual para los jugadores latinos de los Tigres de Detroit se centró en las contribuciones y el heroísmo de los jugadores de las Grandes Ligas, que han jugado para los Tigres en los pasados días, pues hay 12 jugadores en la lista actual de 26 miembros del total del equipo. Pero las celebraciones llegaron a significar mucho más para los jugadores y la comunidad latina e hispana que animaba a los Tigres a ganar o perder.

La celebración de este año comenzó con un almuerzo en el Tiger Club en Comerica Park el viernes 19 de agosto, al que asistieron más de 150 invitados de la comunidad latina de Detroit. En el programa del almuerzo se honró al campeón cubano de la Serie Mundial de los Tigres de 1984, Bárbaro Garbey, quien fue un miembro clave del equipo campeón de la Serie Mundial de los Tigres, jugó en 110 juegos esa temporada y tuvo un bateo promedio de 287.

El entretenimiento para los invitados del almuerzo estuvo a cargo de In Transit – Latino Trio de Sean Blackman.

El juego de la “Fiesta Tigres” de este año contra los Angelinos de California se jugó más tarde esa misma noche e hizo historia como el primer juego de béisbol de los Tigres que se transmitió en vivo en español para los radioescuchas. El partido fue transmitido por la Radio Explosiva WSDS AM con Carlos Guillén como el narrador del partido y Mari Montes como analista de color.

Las ceremonias previas al juego fueron un punto culminante de las experiencias culturales latinas, comenzando con la exhibición de las banderas nacionales de los actuales jugadores latinos de los Tigres de Detroit, incluyendo Cuba, República Dominicana, Puerto Rico, Venezuela y Curaçao.

Tres grupos de bailes folclóricos del área de Detroit entretuvieron a la multitud de más de 28,000 aficionados con espectáculos de bailes étnicos que vestían atuendos tradicionales y coloridos de México, incluidos Raíces Mexicanas de Detroit, Ballet Folklorico Detroit y Moyocoyani lzel.

El vocalista del suroeste de Detroit, Caleb Gutiérrez, cantó una animada interpretación del Himno Nacional de Estados Unidos, para el deleite de la multitud local.

¡El homenajeado del almuerzo, Bárbaro Garbey, hizo el primer lanzamiento ceremonial y el juego comenzó! El lanzador de los Tigres, Matt Manning, mantuvo un juego fuerte durante las primeras cinco entradas y permitió una carrera – un jonrón en la segunda entrada. Desafortunadamente, esa corrida de los Angelinos se destacó como la única carrera del juego y los Tigres perdieron el primer juego de la serie del fin de semana 1-0 ante los Angelinos.

Los fanáticos que se quedaron hasta el final del juego disfrutaron de un emocionante espectáculo de fuegos artificiales el viernes por la noche, organizado por los Tigres con el horizonte del centro de Detroit como telón de fondo. Los ¡ooohs y ahaaas! de los fanáticos restantes resumieron el agradecimiento de la comunidad latina local a los Tigres por el tributo a sus jugadores y fanáticos latinos.
