Last week, Jack White’s natural, non-Black Keys nemesis—the Internet—ran wild with a photo of the former White Stripes frontman at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, apparently expressing a century of Cubs-related disappointment and frustration in a single image. Following wall-to-wall coverage of the Jack White Is Your Local Ballpark Grump tour, the musician issued a hearty “get behind me, online news sources looking to satisfy the gaping content maw” last night, by throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a game between his hometown Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. ““It’s just one of those days you throw a split-fingered fastball to Santa Claus,” White told the Detroit Free Press—neither euphemism nor non sequitur, but rather a dream made into wonderful reality by the Tigers’ “Christmas In July” promotion. Here’s the photographic proof, which comes from Comerica Park in 2014 and not backstage at a Flaming Lips show circa Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.
