Detroit Tigers fans have a reason to be optimistic this year. Going into 2022, many fans believed that the team was ready for a postseason push. Instead, everything went wrong, and the Tigers ended up with only 66 wins. But the team is currently on a 3-game winning streak. Furthermore, during their most recent win, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award-winning rapper gave an impromptu performance that probably no Tigers fan expected.
For the unversed, the A. J. Hinch-led Tigers recently upset the New York Mets and swept them in a 3-game home series. This has got fans hyped up and excited. But it was the Grammy-nominated rapper Flavor Flav who got the crowd engaged and on their feet with his surprise performance.

The Tigers recently beat the Mets, ending their three-game home series in a sweep. It was a close 2-0 win, with a couple of home runs being the difference. But what really made the game exciting was an impromptu performance by Flavor Flav while sitting in the stands. He was in a Tigers jacket, supporting the home team. Flav rapped along to ?Don?t Believe The Hype?, a song by Public Enemy, a group he was a part of. The rapper shared a snippet of his dance and performance on Twitter.

The performance and the song were infectious and gave the crowd some energy. It might have also helped the Tigers close out the series against the Mets with a win. Earlier in the season, the fans were given hope as the team beat the 2022 World Champions in a series. The situation looks better for the Detroit-based team than it did last year.
The Tigers are aiming for the postseason
Following a disappointing 2022 campaign, the Detroit Tigers are looking to make the postseason this year. The Tigers currently own a 13-17 win-loss record and are 3rd in the AL Central. But the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Guardians do not have that much of a lead over them. Although experts predict the Tigers to miss the postseason, if they can stay healthy and win more games, it may be possible. But only time will tell if the team can continue this momentum.
