Tigers In Head-To-Toe Zubaz; 'Too Much For The Plane To Handle'

DETROIT (97.1 The Ticket) Why are the Tigers on fire right now?

It could be the sudden fandom of swimsuit supermodel Kate Upton, could be the new coach or a certain kind of special chemistry.

Or it could be the pants. (See below)

And then there's this one.

And this one. Is that Miggy and Justin Verlander? Have they joined the MC Hammer reunion tour road crew?

Here, JV dresses it up a little with a tie -- but they really do look more like comfy traveling clothes. They also look like comfy traveling clothes your grandparents would wear.

The team first embraced their special Zubaz pants, and then they did whatever is beyond embracing it by wearing it head to toe -- and just about every time they're together off the field.
They're spending extra time together right now because they're stuck in Boston. As Ian Krol Tweeted, "Plane broke, stuck in Boston 'til tomorrow."

At least they'll be comfortable.
