“Skubal Snack Burger” Designed by Tarik to be Featured at Comerica Park During MLB Players’ Weekend, August 16-17

When fans enter Comerica Park for this weekend’s games against the New York Yankees, they’ll want to bring their appetite for good food and an even better cause.

As part of MLB Players’ Weekend, when fans across baseball celebrate MLB players’ interests, backstories and charitable passions, the Tigers will spotlight an ideal post-game meal of the team’s ace, Tarik Skubal. One of the ballpark’s concession stands will be re-branded “Skubal’s Snacks” after the All-Star’s nickname, “Skoob” – a parallel from the television show Scooby-Doo. Skubal’s Snacks will feature a burger designed by Tarik himself.

The Skubal Snack Burger features bacon, pepper jack cheese and light mayonnaise, and is topped off with a fried egg. The Tigers will donate a portion of proceeds from sales of the burger to Alternative for Girls, an organization that Tarik and his wife, Jessica, have supported throughout his tenure with the Tigers. Alternative For Girls helps girls and young women experiencing homelessness and other risks avoid violence, early pregnancy, and exploitation, and helps them to explore and access the support, resources, and opportunities necessary to be safe, to grow strong, and to make positive choices for their lives.

Skubal’s Snacks will be located at the Comerica Big Cat Court, located near the carousel at Comerica Park, available to fans during Friday and Saturday’s games.

Detroit will host the Yankees for two games at Comerica Park (Friday, 6:40 p.m. and Saturday, 1:10 p.m.) before wrapping up the three-game series on Sunday in Williamsport, PA, in the Little League Classic.

Throughout MLB Players’ Weekend, several Tigers will utilize customized, specially designed bats and cleats, displaying all kinds of personality. During Players’ Weekend, all Tigers will wear New Era caps featuring their uniform number on the side panel in a youthful design.
