The Tigers also went out into the crowd wearing their uniforms to help unite the city. This was between games of a Double Header. Mickey Lolich was also among the crowd in uniform. As he got called up by the National Guard in between games. They filmed scenes for the movie Detroit out of my Police Station in Malden, MA. When I told production staff the story about the Tigers. It was the first time they had heard it.
I remember stories in the Detroit Free Press about the players doing that, Willie Horton in particular.
