Bless You Boys writers revisit Justin Verlander's Tigers career ahead of his scheduled final career start in Detroit on Saturday, recalling his no-hitters, 2011 MVP season, dominant 2012 postseason and 2015 return to form after injury.
One contributor who attended Verlander's no-hitter in Toronto recalled fans from both teams cheering after the final out. Another described his 2015 rehab start in Toledo and said Verlander's velocity and spin rates had returned to elite levels; writers also remembered the 2012 World Series opener as a painful counterpoint to his playoff dominance.
