Jim Leyland Not Scoring Points with the In-Laws After this Story
“My wife is one of 11, and all her brothers and sisters were there that morning. And they were partying and having a good time. And this was 7:00 in the morning. So, I went to the ballpark at 8:00 in the morning for an 8:30pm game because I couldn’t take it,” he said. “To be honest with you, it was brutal.”
I’m not sure what year that was, considering the Tigers haven’t played in a Game 7 under Leyland. Maybe it was Game 7 of the 1997 World Series between the Marlins and Indians. Who knows? Let’s just hope all is well in the Leyland household after that story. If you know anything about Leyland, you know he’s not someone you want to irritate.
