CLEVELAND — Detroit Tigers prospect Matt Manning has found the perfect way to stay calm before he pitches.
He watches "The Office" on his iPad because it keeps him calm.
So tonight, he will take that idea to another level and wear a pair of custom Nike cleats that honor the longtime NBC sitcom in the MLB Futures Game on Sunday night.
“It’s my favorite show,” Manning said in the American League clubhouse on Sunday afternoon, showing off his new cleats.
