A Detroit Tigers fan seen on Thursday's Fox Sports Detroit broadcast taking in the game shirtless at Comerica Park.

Spring-like weather is taking forever to get to Michigan.

That hasn't stopped one fan from working on his tan at a Detroit Tigers game.

The Tigers faced the Baltimore Orioles with a game-time temperature of 36 degrees Thursday afternoon — a game that was originally rescheduled due to weather concerns — and the conversation throughout much of the game circulated around a burly Tigers fan caught on Fox Sports Detroit cameras wearing sunglasses, a backwards cap and zero shirt.

Take a look for yourself.

Sports Illustrated's tweet generated more than 9,000 interactions since it was shared Thursday afternoon.

97.1 The Ticket (WXYT-FM) caught up with the fan during the game. Turns out his name is Voz — a.k.a. "Chewbacca" - and he shows up shirtless to Tigers games all the time.

It also looks like he might want to invest in some aloe.

The Tigers won the game, 6-5, on a walk-off home run by Dixon Machado.
