I came hear to post this.
Great read. What a guy.


There was a lot to enjoy. His team had caught fire. When the Tigers got to 40 games above .500 by early August, Donnelly picked up the phone.
"Did you order your rings yet?" he cracked.
Here's betting Jim almost ate his cigarette. Old Man Leyland taught him the dangers of getting too full of yourself. Never too high, never too low, remember?
"Are you out of your f------ mind?" his friend remembers him saying. "I've got three guys on my team who can't name two teams in our division."

I hope everyone that harbored the belief that Leyland was "goofing up on purpose" will read this.

Awesome article and insight into the man who has turned around the Detroit Tigers.
