The Detroit Tigers have finally won a few games this season, but I don’t want to jinx anything, so I’ll just stop there. Even if the Tigers haven’t had the strongest seasons the past few years, they do have a history of success over the past several decades. Also, let’s not forget how fun it is to watch Miguel Cabrera do his thing at every game. It’s simply a Detroit thing to love and cheer for the Tigers.

If you’re a Tigers fan, make note that you’re in good company. A slew of famous personalities are mega Tigers fans, many of whom are from Detroit.

An obvious one is Jack White, who slung his famed “Seven Nation Army” and performed a very Jack White version of the “Star-Spangled Banner” to kick off the Detroit Tigers’ season at Comerica Park this year. The Detroit native has always been vocal about his love for the Tigers and baseball, in general. Read on for 12 famous Detroit Tigers fans!
