Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and his son, Jack, stand on the field at Yankee Stadium before the New York Yankees' baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, May 17, 2019, in New York. Shaking hands and posing for photos on the field during batting practice, Harbaugh wore a Yankees cap, a Michigan sweater vest and — of course — a crisp pair of khakis. He says he and his father had never been to Yankee Stadium before and it's a "bucket list" trip for them. Harbaugh, a lifelong baseball fan, grew up rooting for the Detroit Tigers while his father was an assistant coach under Bo Schembechler at Michigan. (AP Photo/Mike Fitzpatrick)
