Actor John C. Reilly opened Wednesday’s Detroit Tigers home game at Comerica Park by throwing the ceremonial first pitch, needing a second attempt to find the strike zone. Moments later Reilly took a microphone and led the stadium in singing “Happy Birthday” to rock guitarist Jack White, who was in attendance as he celebrated his 50th birthday. The light-hearted tribute linked two Detroit cultural figures—White, a Motor City native best known as co-founder of the White Stripes, and Reilly, who portrayed a legendary Tigers slugger in the 2006 film “Talladega Nights”—in a brief pre-game ceremony that delighted the crowd.
