The 2009 season is going to be a make or break year for Tigers manager Jim Leyland. If the Tigers can bounce back from a dreadful 2008 season, odds are The Black Lung will stick around unless he wants to leave. If the Tigers finish towards the bottom of the AL Central again, then the choice will likely be made for him. So Jimmy is probably feeling some pressure this year, and although he has his cigarettes to help deal with the stress, his players don't have the same liberty.And what better way is there to soothe the souls of young men then by belting out an R&B hit from the 70s? That's exactly what Leyland did on the Tigers recent trip to the Motown Museum, singing the Stylistics' "Betcha By Golly Wow" and thankfully somebody at the Detroit Free Press got the whole thing on video.
Enjoy!
Thanks, I think, to Deadspin.
