Just imagine Bobby Higginson Pulling an Epic Prank on his teammate
In the whimsical world of the Detroit Tigers, where bats swing, balls fly, and gloves catch, there lurked a prankster supreme: Bobby Higginson. Yes, in the hallowed halls of baseball lore, where legends are made, Higginson carved out his niche not just with his on-field prowess but with his off-field antics, particularly his legendary pranks. And who better to spill the beans than Carlos Pena, the Tigers’ own raconteur, during a sun-soaked Spring Training game on Bally Sports Detroit.
Master Prankster: Bobby Higginson
When asked by new Detroit Tigers play-by-play man Jason Benetti about the team’s most notorious jester, Pena wasted no time in crowning Higginson. But it wasn’t for just any run-of-the-mill locker room hijinks. Oh no, Higginson went for the grand gesture, the kind that leaves everyone gasping… and then bursting into laughter. He turned teammate Franklyn German’s car into a vanishing act, convincing German it had been stolen. For a week! “It used to get a little out of hand,” Pena mused, “the stuff he used to do.” That is the understatement of the century, Carlos!
The Grand Illusion
Imagine the scene: German searching high and low, probably contemplating life without his beloved ride, while Higginson watched the drama unfold, a smirk playing on his lips. Jason Benetti, the voice of the Tigers’ future, couldn’t believe his ears. “Like a week. Come on, Bobby,” Pena laughed, echoing the sentiment of every listener. A week-long prank? That’s commitment. That’s dedication. That’s… well, that’s Bobby Higginson.
