Kyle NewportApr 1, 2014

Opening Day for Major League Baseball is a day to celebrate. It's such a big event that athletes who aren't even baseball players are celebrated on that day.

In Detroit, the city honored its biggest sports stars with life-sized bobbleheads as part of itsย โ€œApril in the Dโ€ campaign. The Parade Company and Display Group created the bobbleheads that were placed outside of Comerica Park.

Here are the six athletes who received the honor this year:

  • Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer
  • Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter
  • Pistons center Andre Drummond
  • Pistons forward Josh Smith
  • Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard
  • Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk

Check out the Andre Drummond bobblehead:
