World Series prep at Detroit Tigers home field

DETROIT — The Tigers may still be battling to win the American League Central, but officials already are preparing for the possibility of a World Series in Detroit.

Law enforcement personnel plan to descend from helicopters into Comerica Park on Wednesday as part of an exercise to prepare for a possible championship series.

The training was scheduled for Tuesday, but was pushed back after rain Monday postponed a game with the Minnesota Twins.

The rainout was being made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday.

Officials say Detroit SWAT and U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel will participate in the "fast-roping" exercise, in which agents descend into the ballpark from a helicopter. By Google
