Detroit – It’s a window into the gentle soul of Tigers hitting coach Joe Vavra, truly, that he can laugh things like this off.
Since the coronavirus pandemic shuttered baseball on March 12, Vavra made his way to his home in Wisconsin where he’s been quarantined with his wife and three sons – one of whom, Terrin, happens to be the No. 7-rated prospect in the Colorado Rockies’ system.
When he’s not running out to the Vavra brothers’ new, state-of-the-art hitting facility, he’s trying his best to keep in touch with his Tigers hitters who are scattered across the land.
