Verlander's Final Celebration Weekend | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers are throwing a two-day farewell party for Justin Verlander, complete with bobbleheads and hoodies, as they honor the 43-year-old legend during games against the Pirates. Despite injuries sidelining him this season — including a hamstring strain and just one start — Verlander, a three-time Cy Young winner and franchise icon, is rehabbing hard with hopes of pitching in his final games. Originally drafted by the Tigers in 2004 and traded away in 2017 before returning to Detroit, he still holds MLB records for starts, wins, and strikeouts. Even though the team’s playoff dreams are over, fans are rallying to celebrate one of baseball’s greatest pitchers — and possibly his last hurrah on the mound.
