Jim Harbaugh has ruffled some feathers with his antics and media appearances. Not many other schools like that he took his Michigan football team down to the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida for “spring Break”. His National Signing Day bonanza show with guests such as Ric Flair raised some eyebrows. His appearance on WWE’s Monday Night Raw was…something.
His latest move, coaching first base for the Detroit Tigers during a spring training game, would have been a shock if it weren’t for the fact that we’ve come to expect this kind of stuff from Harbaugh now.
Fan hollered: "HARBAUGH! C'mere!"
And he did…
Uniform change.

He is certainly one of the most popular figures in the state of Michigan right now, even if he’s currently located in Florida.

For his next trick, I want to see Harbaugh take a spot alongside Red Wings bench boss Jeff Blashill, because at this point, why not?
