Dad’s Take on Justyn-Henry Malloy

Look at this kid posing like he just hit a grand slam when he's probably celebrating a bunt single. That hyphenated name screams "my parents couldn't agree on anything," and now he's swinging for the fences trying to prove he's tougher than his fancy name suggests. At least he's wearing a proper Tigers uniform instead of some flashy nonsense, but that cocky grin tells me he thinks 21 homers makes him the next Babe Ruth.
