Fat Tuesday. Read in the Bathtub Day. Pizza Pie Day. International Pancake Day. Today is a special day. So, let’s take a moment to look at a Detroit Tigers prospect with one of the best names in all of baseball: Joey Pankake. His name is so much fun to say that even the folks at Yahoo Sports agreed. Who is this guy with the great name? And what’s happening with him in the Detroit Tigers organization?
Pankake is a young minor league player who has spent two years with the Tigers organization. In 2014, he played with the Connecticut Tigers in the short single-A season.
