This is a bit of a fluff entry, but sometimes you’ve got to change it up. Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard threw out the first pitch at today’s Tigers game (Tweets via the Red Wings), and he did…okay…

Prior to throwing out the first pitch, he sat down for a short interview with Fox Sports Detroit’s Trevor Thompson:
