Casey Mize….”if the glove is gray…you must put it away!”

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize pitched a solid first inning at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday and was quietly heading back to the Tigers dugout. Unfortunately for Mize, home plate umpire John Tumpane had a message for him, and suddenly the big news dominating MLB was thrust in the lap of the Detroit rookie.

Tumpane delivered word to Casey Mize that his gray glove was too light in color.
