When Jim Leyland was the manager of the Detroit Tigers, he was known for many things: a tough attitude, holding himself and his players to a high standard and being short with the media.

One thing he was not known for was a gleeful smile.

Retirement must be nice for Leyland, because he seems much cheerier now that he's taken a behind-the-scenes role with the team. Leyland entered the 21st century on Thursday, as Director of Detroit Tigers Foundation Jordan Field tweeted Leyland's "first selfie."

It's good to see the skipper enjoying himself. It would have been nice to see him smile more during interviews...
