The Detroit Tigers are clearly in a rebuilding phase and with a plethora of young talent, it has not been much of a surprise that they are struggling to win baseball games.
But that does not mean the team is not having a fun time while forming bonds that will hopefully pay off in the future.
Each year, the Tigers’ rookies take part in a rookie dress-up day that is always loads of fun. This year, the Tigers’ young guns dressed up as Oompa Loompas from the movie, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”
Thankfully, James McCann captured the moment and shared it with the world!

MUST SEE: Detroit Lions’ players give Matt Patricia the game ball following emotional post game speech
On Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions came together and pulled off one the (dare we say it) biggest wins in recent team history as they defeated the New England Patriots 26-10 in front of a ruckus crowd at Ford Field.
Following the game, Lions’ head coach Matt Patricia (who had just picked up his first win) entered the locker room and after getting big hugs from Rod Wood and Bob Quinn, and then having a group of players swarm him, he addressed his team. Patricia gave the credit to his players and told them to enjoy the win but that on Monday, the focus would shift to the Dallas Cowboys.
After Patricia was finished speaking, Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford presented his head coach with the game ball in a moment Patricia is sure to remember forever.
