LAKELAND, Fla. — Andrew Chafin, the Detroit Tigers' new left-handed relief pitcher, came through the door wearing camouflage Crocks and holding a can of Mug root beer.
“Oh dear,” he said, seeing a group of reporters in the lobby of the Tigers facility.
His crazy hair, as his daughter calls his mop of curls, was sprouting from a bandanna. “My wife got the bright idea to straighten it,” he said. “My 3-year-old, her hair is like this, but it’s blonde and curly.”
