Let’s be honest right off the hop here: baseball players rarely make good actors. Justin Verlander’s comic performances in video game commercials notwithstanding, it’s probably a good idea most players don’t try to make a career out of acting. (I will also allow for C.J. Wilson’s guest spot on The Mindy Project during which he hurled dinner rolls at Mindy Kaling as being a rare great example).
This Thanksgiving, to celebrate $39 three-game ticket packs, the Tigers asked a few players to recreate the Yankee Swap scene from The Office as a way to demonstrate that the tickets are a gift anyone would want to steal.
