Last Thursday, the Delta team in Detroit enjoyed an amazing afternoon with members of the Detroit Tigers when they stopped by DTW to mingle with more than 135 employees and customers as part of their Winter Caravan.
The Winter Caravan takes Tigers players, coaches, and broadcasters across the region for two days as they visit with fans. Delta is the official airline of the Tigers and the DTW visit was one of their first stops.
During the almost two-hour visit, Tigers players helped DTW staff make boarding announcements and scanned boarding passes for customers as they helped board flights to Seattle and Kansas City, Mo. Players also visited with employees in break rooms, and toured the DTW Hub Control Center, operations tower, and toured the cockpit of a Boeing 747.
The event wrapped with the Tigers hosting a rally with more than 100 Delta employees, who chatted with the players.

My hometown baseball team combines with my hometown airline… I must say a great combination. Although, they can keep their day jobs and leave the gate announcements to you guys
Ha ha!
