Kid Rock Wants to Buy Detroit Tigers?

Well, it's a first step at least.

By Blurt Staff

It was announced today, April 1, that Kid Rock has purchased the naming rights to the home of the Detroit Tigers for an undisclosed sum.   Kid Rock and The Michigan Brewing Company, in a separate negotiation, have also announced that Kid Rock's forthcoming new line of beer will become the official beer of the Detroit Tigers.  

Formerly Comerica Park, the green will now be called Kid Rock Field.

Says Kid Rock, in a statement, "This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and with the banks in trouble it seemed like the right time for me to reach out to the fine people at Comerica Bank.  Since they relocated to Dallas after opening the stadium here, they were very open to the idea of making this deal.  I've never been more excited for opening day, and I'm proud to be able to add my name to the legacy of my favorite baseball team."

Uncomfirmed rumors have already begun swirling that the musician ultimately intends to purchase the baseball team, which has been financially embattled for some time now.
