John C. Reilly sings ‘Happy Birthday' to unsuspecting Jack White at Tigers game in wild moment
Tigers fans may not have had this year's dominant season on their bingo card, but even fewer could have predicted the hilarious and bizarre scene that played out before Wednesday's game. Actor John C. Reilly, 60, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Comerica Park before Detroit played the Rays, but not without belting out an unexpected rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to Jack White, the frontman of The White Stripes. 'Will you join me in singing 'Happy Birthday' to my friend Jack White?' Reilly asked the 22,019 bewildered fans in attendance. The 'Step Brothers' and 'Talladega Nights' star then went on to croon the lyrics to 'Happy Birthday' as fans sang along. White, who turned 50 on Wednesday, took it all in from the stands, looking on with a combination of amusement, embarrassment and shock. As Reilly finished signing and exclaimed, 'Play Ball!' the speakers began to blast Seven Nation Army, the White Stripes' mega-hit that has turned into a stadium classic. Born in Chicago, Reilly met White backstage at a White Stripes concert decades ago, and the pair hit it off after finding common ground over their Midwestern backgrounds and Catholic upbringings. 3 John C. Reilly threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Wednesday's Tigers game. AP 3 John C. Reilly singing 'Happy Birthday' to Jack White at Wednesday's Tigers game. @awfulannouncing/X White, a Detroit native, is a lifelong Tigers fan. In a follow-up interview on the Tigers' broadcast, Reilly confirmed that White had no idea he would be serenaded — or that Reilly would even be at the game. 3 Jack White reacted as John C. Reilly sang 'Happy Birthday' to him at Wednesday's Tigers game. @awfulannouncing/X Reilly also noted that the Tigers jersey he wore to throw out the first pitch was the same one he donned in Kevin Costner's 1999 film 'For the Love of the Game,' in which Reilly played a Tigers catcher named Gus Sinski. After he made his way up from the field, Reilly took in the game in White's suite, alongside the rock star's wife and mother. The hysterical sing-a-long provided no good luck charm to the Tigers, though, who suffered a 7-3 loss despite having the best record in baseball (59-35).

What's the Panthers' playoff record based on who bangs the drum? A team-by-team breakdown
The Florida Panthers have gotten some big names in the South Florida sports world and beyond to take part in their pregame drum banging ceremony over their Stanley Cup Final runs the past three years. It started with former Panthers forward Billy Lindsay, an original Panther who was part of Florida's first ever Cup Final team in 1996 and is now part of the team's radio broadcast, banging the drum ahead of Game 6 in the first-round against the Boston Bruins in 2023. It has continued ever since, with 29 total pregame performances. The stars have done their job of hyping up the crowd pregame. Perhaps no one did it bigger than when former Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo put up an emphatic performance ahead of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers last season, a game Florida eventually won 2-1 for its first Stanley Cup in franchise history. With the Panthers once again in position to win a championship, up 3-2 on the Oilers entering Game 6 of their Cup Final rematch on Tuesday, expect a big name to get the Amerant Bank Arena crowd going before the 8 p.m. puck drop. But who? The Panthers haven't said directly, although Luongo posted a GIF on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account Monday of Will Ferrell from the movie 'Step Brothers' banging on a drum set with the caption 'Warming up in the bullpen.' But beyond the star power attention, is there a trend with how the Panthers fare on the ice based on the team with whom the drum banger is affiliated? Let's get this out of the way early: No, the Miami Dolphins are not a curse for the Panthers as some fans are posturing on social media. People with Dolphins ties have made nine appearances banging the drum prior to a Panthers playoff game over the past three years, and Florida has gone 6-3 in that stretch — including 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final. Granted, two of those losses have come in their past two appearances, with current defensive lineman Zach Sieler in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final and Hall of Fame defensive lineman Jason Taylor in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final this year. In fact, here is how the Panthers' win-loss record breaks down based on the team the person banging the drum is affiliated with (with one-offs or people not affiliated one of South Florida's professional sports teams lumped together): ▪ Miami Heat: 4-0 — Udonis Haslem, Goran Dragic, Alonzo Mourning and Bam Adebayo. ▪ Florida Panthers: 3-0 — Lindsay in Game 6 of Round 1 against Boston in 2023, Luongo in Game 7 of the 2024 Cup Final and Keith Yandle in Game 3 of the second round against Toronto in 2025. ▪ Miami Marlins: 3-1 — wins with Jeff Conine, Juan Pierre and Livan Hernandez; a loss with Charles Johnson. ▪ Miami Dolphins: 6-3 — wins with Mike McDainiel (twice), Dan Marino, Jalen Ramsey, Jaylen Waddle and Jonnu Smith; losses with Raheem Mostert, Sieler and Taylor. ▪ Miscellaneous: 3-3 — wins with UFC fighter Kamaru Usman, social media personalities A.J. and Big Justice, and rapper Trick Daddy; losses with NFL players Mike White and Mark Ingram plus drummer Jason Bonham ▪ Golfers: 0-2 — Jack Nicklaus did it in the 2024 Cup Final and Brooks Koepka in the 2023 Cup Final, with Florida falling in both games. ▪ Inter Miami: 0-1 — midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi is Inter Miami's lone representative here, banging the drum before Game 3 of Round 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning this year. The full game-by-game breakdown, in chronological order, is below. 2023 First Round Game 6: Former Panthers forward Billy Lindsay (W) Second Round Game 3: Former Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem (W) Second Round Game 4: NFL quarterback and Plantation native Mike White (L) Eastern Conference final Game 3: Former Marlins outfielder Jeff Conine (W) Eastern Conference final Game 4: Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel (W) Stanley Cup Final 3: Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino (W) Stanley Cup Final 4: Golfer Brooks Koepka (L) 2024 First Round Game 1: Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (W) First Round Game 2: Former Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (W) First Round Game 5: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (W) Second Round Game 1: Drummer Jason Bonham (L) Second Round Game 2: Former Marlins outfielder Juan Pierre (W) Second Round Game 5: Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (L) Eastern Conference final Game 3: NFL running back Mark Ingram (L) Eastern Conference final Game 4: Former Marlins pitcher Livan Hernandez (W) Eastern Conference final Game 6: UFC fighter Kamaru Usman (W) Stanley Cup Final Game 1: Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel (W) Stanley Cup Final Game 2: Former Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning (W) Stanley Cup Final Game 5: Golfer Jack Nicklaus (L) Stanley Cup Final Game 7: Former Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo (W) 2025 First Round Game 3: Inter Miami midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi (L) First Round Game 4: Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith (W) Second Round Game 3: Social media personalities A.J. and Big Justice (W) Second Round Game 4: Former Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle (W) Second Round Game 6: Former Marlins catcher Charles Johnson (L) Eastern Conference final Game 3: Rapper Trick Daddy (W) Eastern Conference final Game 4: Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Zach Sieler (L) Stanley Cup Final Game 3: Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (W) Stanley Cup Final Game 4: Former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jason Taylor (L)

John C. Reilly Reveals Why He's Releasing Debut Album 'What's Not to Love?' Under the Pseudonym Mister Romantic
You know John C. Reilly mainly as an actor, but he's got a passion for music as well. The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy-nominated entertainer, 59, announced his upcoming debut album What's Not to Love?, a collection of music from the Great American Songbook set to be released under the pseudonym Mister Romantic. Its first single, "Dream," is out now. "I looked at our weary world a few years ago and tried to think of a way I could spread love and empathy," explained the Step Brothers star in a statement. "I decided the most fun way to do that was through performing and singing and telling people I loved them." Related: Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly Present Snoop Dogg with Birthday Cake Mid-Show: 'My Brothers Surprised Me' Reilly added, "So the emotional vaudeville show Mister Romantic was born, out of both hope and despair. What's Not To Love? Is a collection of songs from the show with some cinematic audio weaved in." He offered more details on the character, noting that the album tells "the story of an eternal optimist, Mister Romantic, as he looks for love." "Each song moved me enough to want to share it with people and keep each one alive by passing it on like some of my favorite singers did in their time. The lyrics all have something deeply true about them," continued Reilly. "Someone once said 'It's better to light one tiny candle than to curse the darkness.' Well, this is our little candle in the darkness," concluded the statement. "We hope it reminds people that it's good to love. I figured it was worth a try." What's Not to Love? will feature 13 songs, including two originally by Irving Berlin and three originally by Tom Waits. Others were made famous by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Jo Stafford. While the project marks Reilly's first album, most fans have heard him sing before in films like Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Chicago, among others.
