BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jim Harbaugh walked into McKechnie Field on Wednesday wearing a dark blue University of Michigan hat and a matching sweater tucked into his trademark khaki pants.
Harbaugh quickly traded those in for baseball pants, a bright orange hat featuring an Old English D and a No. 4 jersey with his name on it. The Wolverines football coach spent Wednesday afternoon as the Tigers' first-base coach, working the first three innings of the Tigers' Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
"What a big thrill just to be at a big league park and being around the locker room, being in the skip's office," Harbaugh said before the game.
