"Eee-Yah!"

I like this picture of the late Hughie Jennings, which is in the Tigers' clubhouse. He's shown doing a dance and possibly yelling his trademark "Eee-Yah!". He looks like he's having a good time in this picture. According to his Wikipedia Page, he was the manager of the Tigers from 1907-1920, during the Ty Cobb years. He used to yelp "Eee-yah" and do a little dance, which was part of his on-field antics. His nameplate under the picture has the Tigers Logo and the Baseball Hall of Fame logo, as is the case with all Hall of Famers that played for Detroit during their career, whether they are wearing a Tiger hat on their plaque or not. Well, more later or tomorrow.
