Although she was born in Memphis, Aretha Franklin’s real hometown was Detroit. When she died Thursday, the whole city was thrown into mourning.

Props to the Detroit Tigers for providing their own salute to Aretha with this report on Friday’s game with Baltimore. (Via Amber)

Tigers game notes today feature Aretha Franklin song titles. Even the DL section has been changed to “It Hurts Like Hell”. Well done, @DetroitTigersPR. pic.twitter.com/xdj0tA0Uzc
