Jim Harbaugh Throws Out Tigers First Pitch Wearing A Tucked In Jersey

University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh still has a decent arm. The former quarterback got the pitch over the plate (although a little high out of the zone) for the ceremonial first pitch before the Pirates vs. Tigers game at Comerica Park Tuesday night.

The video posted to MLB.com and Fox Sports YouTube channel also shows some solid throws with manager Brad Ausmus in the dugout.

He joins the likes of Jack White, J.K. Simmons, Robocop, Ivan Rodriguez and countless others in the first pitch club. Pudge actually threw to second because c'mon how can you expect a catcher to throw the other direction right?

For a reminder of just how wrong it can go -- we present Howard Stern executive producer Gary Dell'abate's Mets game first pitch.
