Jim Harbaugh Coaches First Base For The Tigers [PHOTOS]
By: Evan Jankens

Jim Harbaugh is in Florida with his team. Taking advantage of his time, Harbaugh decided to continue coaching, only this time with the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers are taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates in a split squad game in Bradenton, Fl. (where Harbaugh and the Wolverines are practicing at IMG Academy) at McKechnie Field.
Harbaugh isn't a stranger to coaching a Major League game. He coached first base for the Oakland A's last season.
Harbaugh will be donning the Old English D as he did last year as he threw out the first pitch when the Tigers took on the Pirates. The only difference this time is Harbaugh isn't expected to wear khakis.

Tigers hitting 3-for-3 since Harbaugh started coaching first base. Lead Pirates 2-0 in first. Just sayin'.
