The Tigers Announcer Had The Greatest Jinx Of All Time When He Called Tarik Skubal "The Grinch" One Second Before Big Christmas Hit A Home Run
Listen I'm not the biggest jinx guy in the entire world. I hate when people retroactively catch you being a fan and then scream "you jinxed us!". I'm going to celebrate when we're doing well and I'm going to be down when we're playing poorly. Even in the gambling world, I think it's crazy to get criticized for talking about the confidence level of your bets or that you're getting close to hitting, etc. But with that being said.........

Okay fine. But no, Noel already had a hit, heard the word Grinch, and immediately tied the game up. And Skubal knew it too:
