Photo Gallery: Detroit Tigers' Raburn Serves Floats at Dearborn A&W

The Tigers' utility player stopped by the local restaurant to serve root beer to fans, sign autographs and raise money for charity.

Ryan Raburn–the Detroit Tigers utility man who splits time at second base and left field–made a stop at Dearborn's restaurant Tuesday afternoon for the Detroit Tigers Foundation.

The 30-year-old Tiger served root beer floats, signed autographs and took pictures with fans for about a half hour, giving his time to a nonprofit that donates thousands of dollars annually to metro Detroit youth, recreation and education.

But the restaurant's charitable mood didn't end with Raburn's departure. A&W locations around the metropolitan area are giving out free small root beer floats all day Tuesday in exchange for donations to the foundation.
