University of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh takes a photo Wednesday with Pirates manager Clint Hurdle at McKechnie Field in Bradenton Fla.BRADENTON, Fla. — Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and his team visited McKechnie Field today, entering from near the Pirates' bullpen in right field as "Hail to the Victors" played over the public address system.
The Wolverines are holding part of their spring practice at IMG Academy in Bradenton. The move, an incursion into SEC territory, angered the conference; SEC commissioner Greg Sankey asked the NCAA to prohibit football teams from holding practice during spring break, a response to Michigan's trip, according to CBS Sports.
