GREEN BAY, Wis. -- You’d have a hard time finding a bigger fan of Detroit’s sports teams -- other than the Lions, of course -- than T.J. Lang.

The Green Bay Packers right guard regularly professes his love, especially for the Red Wings and Tigers, via his Twitter account.

So it was no surprise to see the Royal Oak, Michigan, native's excitement on Wednesday when he revealed that he will throw out the ceremonial first on July 19 when the Tigers host the Minnesota Twins. It’s part of Eastern Michigan University (Lang's alma mater) night at Comerica Park.

Throwing out the first pitch for the @tigers July 19th. Living out a childhood dream will feel pretty awesome. #EMUNight #KnuckleBall — TJ Lang (@TJLang70) July 6, 2016

Sure enough, his announcement led to an interesting exchange on Twitter, where a Tigers fan tweeted at Lang and said he hopes the crowd doesn’t hold it against him that he plays for the Packers.

Or maybe announce the Lions passed on me 5 times haha https://t.co/Pe1aMnPGh9 — TJ Lang (@TJLang70) July 6, 2016

Lang, a fourth-round pick in 2009, was right: The Lions did pass on him five times. They had five picks in the first three rounds before the Packers took Lang at No. 109 overall (the ninth pick of Round 4).
