On Tuesday, Magglio Ordonez returned to the lineup. On Wednesday, he returned to 2005.
        When Ordonez walked into the Tigers’ clubhouse some three hours before Wednesday night’s game, you could hear the hooting and hollering from his teammates halfway down the hall.
        Breaking news: Magglio had gotten a haircut -- his first full-scale clip job in five years.
        “Maybe I’ll hit like the old Magglio,” he laughed as he headed for his locker.
        The haircut was his wife Dagly’s idea. She even arranged for the barber to come to their home.
        The trademark  long, curly locks down the back of Ordonez’s neck that used to bounce when he ran are gone.
        Now his hair is short on top and even shorter on the back and sides. High and tight, the cut is called. Almost a buzz cut, with a few short curls left on top.
        Why now, Ordonez was asked?
        “Change,” he admitted without elaborating.
        You can read between lines.
        The 35-year-old Ordonez would like very much to draw a line in the sand and leave the first 70 games of this season behind him.
        A fresh start.
        “Over-hauling,” he said, laughing again.
        Hopefully, sort of like the tale of Samson and Delilah -- in reverse.
        This much is certain: Ordonez definitely looks years younger.
        “My hair looks like it did when I first came over here in 2005,” he said.
        “I’m 29 now. I have to change my birth certificate.”
        The Tigers will settle for more hits, home runs and RBI.
