A member of the Comerica Park grounds crew suffered an injury during the Detroit Tigers vs. San Francisco Giants game on Wednesday. And while he was on the ground and being attended to by an EMT, he flipped off the cameras.
It’s not clear what injury the grounds crew member suffered, but the announcers said they were looking at his left leg. But it looked like he didn’t like the attention he was receiving, which could be the reason he flipped off the cameras.

Comerica Park is the home of the Tigers and opened in 2000. During that time, the Tigers have reached the playoffs six times, including last year when they finished the regular season with an 86-76 record and lost to the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS.
The 2025 season has been very strong for the Tigers, as they have a 36-20 record as of this writing. They have the best record in the American League and have a 67-33 record in the last 100 games, the best in all of baseball.
“We’ve been playing playoff baseball since mid-August,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said the night the Tigers clinched a playoff berth last year (per MLB.com), “the way we’ve been using our roster, the way we’ve been asking guys to do things a little differently, the pressure that [we’ve] been under with a small margin for error. Maybe they didn’t know quite as much because we were just trying to focus on the day, which is what I do, but I had to continue to remind them: This is exactly what it’s like.”
“With this team, it comes down to two things: Trust and belief,” Tigers pitcher Sean Guenther said during the postseason run. “If you can trust you’re being put in the right spots and you believe, like the staff does, that you’re the guy for that job, then it just becomes pretty black and white. It becomes: Can I just do my job and help us win this ballgame? You have to trust you’re there for the right reasons, and you have to believe you’re good enough to get the job done. Those are things we reiterate every day. Lots of affirmation, lots of support.”
