DETROIT — Chevrolet and the Detroit Tigers are kicking off the 2019 Major League Baseball season with the installation of two all-new vehicles atop the center field fountain at Comerica Park, a Motor City tradition now in its 10th year.
'This decade-old tradition allows us to celebrate Chevy's connection to baseball in our hometown, and it's a telltale sign that Opening Day is almost here,' said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet Marketing. 'The all-new Blazer and Silverado represent innovation, endurance and personality — much like our great city of Detroit.'
The attention-grabbing Blazer and the rugged Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss showcase the quality, dependability and reliability needed to withstand the six-month baseball season. With a bird's-eye view of the field, these heavy-hitting vehicles will cheer on the Detroit Tigers at every home game.
'Chevrolet and the Detroit Tigers are two of the Motor City's most iconic brands, and we're honored to be celebrating the 10-year mark of this great tradition,' said Chris Granger, Group President of Sports and Entertainment, Ilitch Holdings Inc. 'Chevy continues to be great partner not only to the Tigers, but with all of us in the Major League Baseball family.'
Chevy's connection to baseball extends from the backyard to the major leagues as the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball and the Official Automotive Sponsor of the PLAY BALL initiative. Through Chevy Cares programs like Chevy Youth Baseball, kids are empowered to stay active, build self-esteem and learn teamwork – skills that can help them on and off the field.
