Tigers third base coach, Gene Lamont, is much better with his driver than he is as a driver, apparently. During his and Jim Leyland’s joint effort in taking down Rick Knapp and Lloyd McClendon in a round of golf, Lamont also managed to drive over Jim Leyland’s pinky toe with the golf cart:
Lamont drove the cart over his foot — and broke Leyland’s right little toe. […]
[…] “I was hoping to say I hit it accidentally with my 9 iron.” Leyland said. “Actually, I wasn’t going to bring it up at all. … They’re telling me that with the way it feels, it has to be broken.”
Leyland needed only a cig and some chocolate milk for recovery. Besides, he’s complaining more about his bunions, anyway. Gene, meanwhile, will probably have to ride back seat with the seed bucket for the rest of spring training as punishment.
