The Detroit Tigers on Tuesday threw a jab at Neil deGrasse Tyson after the astrophysicist told social media a “dad joke.”

Tyson tweeted: "If the Chicago Bears moved to Detroit Michigan, then Detroit would field the Lions, the Tigers, and the Bears. Oh MI!”

DODGERS' URIAS REINSTATED FROM ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

The Tigers joined other social media users in groaning over the joke.

The baseball club responded, tweeting “This isn’t it.”

Other Twitter users responded in kind.
