CHICAGO – Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Crosby admitted he was a little bit overwhelmed when stepped onto the Comerica Park field two weeks ago.

Everywhere he turned, the former Kaneland pitcher saw cameras, documenting his first start as a major leaguer, and his eyes grew wide when he glanced at the stadium’s upper deck, which dwarfed anything he’d seen during his 41⁄2 years in Detroit’s minor league system.

“I was just trying to take it all in while still doing my job,” Crosby said Tuesday while standing outside the visitors’ clubhouse at Wrigley Field, where Tigers would play the Cubs.
