Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland does moonwalk with Michael Jackson impersonator (GIF)
By Bryan Rose
Although fans in Detroit were obviously unhappy to see their slugger and likely American League MVP (again) Miguel Cabrera hurt, there were some positives that took place during yesterday’s game against the Cleveland Indians.
Okay, maybe there was only one positive but it was damn sure a good one.
Celebrating Motown night at the ballpark, there were a handful of musical acts in attendance, including Michael Jackson. Or, well, okay it wasn’t the Michael Jackson (that might be difficult to pull off) but an impersonator was there and he, for some strange reason, was on the field speaking to Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
The veteran skipper is usually pretty stoic in his demeanor, but I guess smooth grooves from the King of Pop can get anybody to dance, including Leyland who decided to (with bat in hand) bust out a quick moonwalk.
The 68-year-old Leyland really got into it, raising his shoulders and sliding backwards much to the appeasement of all watching.
Thankfully, the Tigers’ social media guru’s were not far away as they captured the greatness in GIF form:
