Sharkey717Justin Verlander-end of an era
As a lifelong Tigers fan and MLB fan in general, I’ve enjoyed watching him play for the last 20 years. Anyone who loves the game, and or if you have kids, this was so special to watch!

old rugged crossNever liked him. Unless he did work in the communities he played in I always saw as a self absorbed egomaniac. He mirrors what gives professional sports a black eye. Ymmv.

Uh..ok. Ever hear of Wins for Warriors Foundation? It’s a non-profit organization founded in 2013 by Justin Verlander to empower military members, veterans, and their families.

Rick_PerryI am a HUGE JV fan! He was such a competitor.
The Tigers could not have done a better job today with his sendoff with his family there.

KMitch200Hated him when he was pitching for the Giants and kicking DBacks asses.
That final goodbye was very well done…especially the daughter sprinting out to the mound!
Enjoy your retirement JV. You earned it!

corsairBetween Verlander's retirement & touching scene with his daughter and the departure of Giant's announcer Mike Krukow, lots of kind words and emotions being spilled.
