Jim Harbaugh throws out first pitch at Tigers game (Video)
The college football coach first pitch tour continued Tuesday night. With Jim Harbaugh, of course.
The Michigan coach threw out the first pitch at the Detroit Tigers game. You can tell he used to play a position that required a lot of throwing. And no, we’re not surprised at all he was wearing khakis.

The pitch isn’t the best part of it though. Harbaugh was wearing the jersey of former Detroit pitcher Mark “The Bird” Fidrych and his windup was pretty close to Fidrych’s. It’s not exact, but you can see the similarities.

He also got some pretty sweet seats after the game.

Tuesday wasn’t Harbaugh’s first VIP experience from an MLB team in 2015. He was in uniform with the Oakland A’s at spring training in March.
If you’re wanting to compare the first pitches of other Big Ten coaches, here’s the link to Urban Meyer’s pitch and James Franklin’s.
