CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire has been ejected from more games than any other active Major League manager.
He's been ejected from plenty of spring games, too.
But he somehow survived all nine innings of a bizarre Thursday afternoon at Spectrum Field despite doing his best to get tossed.
How did he do it?
"I have no clue," Gardenhire said. "I'd never made it through an argument like that without getting pitched. It's just the new me. I didn't put 'you' or 'your' in front of anything. Maybe that's it.
