Tigers manager Jim Leyland has seen a lot through his many, many years in baseball. So if you thought he’d go all nuts after one measly pennant, you had another thing coming. Photo proof after the jump.

I’m not sure why these Tigers fans were upset with Jim Leyland at all, honestly. Apparently, neither was Miguel Cabrera… and he handled it all in just about the best way possible.

Jim Leyland was ejected from his Tigers’ 7-4 loss to the Red Sox yesterday for arguing with an umpire. The arguing was deserved: the ump blew the call. Leyland hadn’t calmed down much after the game – and he wanted to make damn sure that no reporters had, either.

“Stinky Jim” Leyland strikes again! And this time, it appears that Rangers manager Ron Washington was on the receiving end of his gamey trickery.

These AP photos, which were taken during batting practice prior to Game 5 of the ALCS, show the Tigers manager with his hand very clearly down his pants while he talks to Washington. The two men then appear to share a firm-looking handshake, which means… Stinky Jim got him with the Stinkpalm.

Maybe it’s his stoic demeanor. Or maybe it’s the fact the mustache obscures part of his face. Whatever it is, Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland is very talented at appearing to not moving his mouth when he speaks.

Before he got out of a seventh-inning, bases loaded jam against the New York Yankees on Thursday night, Detroit Tigers pitcher Joaquin Benoit was asked by home plate umpire Ted Barrett to remove a giant band-aid from his face. Yankees manager Joe Girardi had asked that the “distracting” band-aid be removed, and as you can see in the video below, Benoit needed a few tries before he could get it off.

During the Tigers’ recent 12-game win streak, manager Jim Leyland got a little superstitious and decided to smoke a cigar and not change his socks until his team lost. Then he took it to another level.

Within the last week, 2011 became something of a golden age for old-guy managers, highlighted now by an angry but vibrant outburst from Tigers manager Jim Leyland.

While you were sleeping, SportsGrid was up all night watching TV and searching the internet for links to help get your day started. Today: have you ever wondered what a manager says to an umpire during an ejection? Also: Batman.

Apparently, the Detroit Tigers have the same refereeing/umpiring karma as the World Cup. First, there was the infamous Armando Galarraga near-perfect game, and over the weekend, another umpire, Gary Cederstrom, admitted he blew a critical call that went against the Tigers.
