A bunch of Jim Harbaugh imposters showed up at a Tigers game

Five jokesters at Saturday’s Detroit Tigers game decided to dress like Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh. 

It’s getting to that time of year where fans of struggling baseball teams turn their attention to other sports. First, fans at Fenway started a “Free Tom Brady” chant. Now, Tigers fans are impersonating Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh in the stands. 

They seem to be wearing the same hat Harbaugh wore when he threw out a first pitch at Comerica Park earlier this season, and they’ve got the sweater-khaki combo down. The sharpie on the lanyard is the kind of attention to detail that really makes this great.

The real Harbaugh was a bit busy during the Tigers game. He was holding a practice at Michigan Stadium, open only to current UM students.
