When the A's announced their LGBT night last month, Eireann Dolan, the girlfriend of A's pitcher Sean Doolittle, wrote a blog post announcing she would purchase tickets from season ticket holders that did not want to attend the game.
The Tigers' event is co-sponsored by the Detroit Regional LGBT Chamber of Commerce and tickets on the lower baseline will be offered in the $40 range.
