Good morning Tigers! Scoreboard operators are now the "cool" job in the MLB, with the San Diego Padres trolling Kershaw and Los Angeles Angels possibly making the best dad joke ever.
In this week's Tiger Rundown: 1. Big hats for the champs 2. This has to be the most bizarre and incredible play I've ever seen a catcher make 3. An MLB player wins over every mom's heart

Will Doherty: Number #13 ranked Missouri Southern has been on a tear. Former Tiger is having a breakout red-shirt freshman season with 6 homers and slashing .294. This hype video is the vibe.
Anthony Green (Class of 2016): Pitcher of the Year for the AMC Conference
Andrew Oldham: Impressing the scouts. 14U Tiger gets highlighted on PBR at Creekside.
Avery Bortner: Missle! 14U StL Tiger capitalizes on a mistake pitch.

Andrew Lapke: Have a solid weekend! 2 for 2 with two doubles, 2 for 4 at the plate, and then 7k's in 4ip. (day 1 | day 2)
Jase Bower: Let the big dog EAT!!! Toledo Tiger goes ya-ya for his second homer of the year. (homer 1 | homer 2 )

From the Rundown
Is this the best play a catcher could ever make?
What happened? The University of North Carolina Wilmington player makes the most bizarre play we've ever seen a catcher make.
From the Rundown
How can you not love this?
What happened? Jesse Winker granted his daughter's wish and wore the necklace she made for him in his next game.
What else I'm looking at:
1. San Diego Padres troll the Dodgers pitcher Kershaw. Is this bad form, or just entertainment? (see post)
2. The best dad joke, or could we take this show on tour? Angels scoreboard operator gets creative (see post)
3. Trolling drill coaches everywhere. Toptiergurubaseballguys don't hold anything back on this PVC pipe drill (see post)
4. Average salary at each MLB position. Did not expect the catcher's position to be paid this small an amount (see post)
That's it for this Rundown. See you next week.
P.S. Memorial Day is coming up. This would be the perfect shirt for you to wear.
