April 9, 2013, Detroit Tigers vs Toronto Blue Jays. Tigers win 7-3.
I really love Topps’ vintage-y baseball cards. Also, I am of the opinion that Justin Verlander is good at baseball.
I have to agree with this assessment.

The Man. He is a beast. He is a freak of nature. He is a living breathing legend. Our team is fucking BLESSED to have him.

Justin Verlander has won 13 straight decisions on the road, the longest streak for the Tigers since Denny won 16 straight in 1968.
