Justin Brooks Verlander (born February 20, 1983, in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. In 2006, he was named the American League Rookie of the Year. On June 12, 2007 (92 days before this picture was taken), he pitched a no-hitter—the first ever at Comerica Park—against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out 12 batters and walking 4.
Through the 2009 season he has a won loss record of 65 - 43, a 3.92 ERA with 746 strikeouts.
He ended the 2005 season pitching for the Erie SeaWolves, the AA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. He became the fifth starter in the Tigers rotation in 2006. Verlander, a 6' 5", 200 pound (1.96 m, 91 kg) right-hander, pitched for the Old Dominion University baseball team for three years. On May 17, 2002, he struckout a then school record 17 batters against James Madison. In 2003, he set a school single-season record by recording 139 strikeouts; in 2004, he broke his own record and established a new Colonial Athletic Association record with 151 strikeouts. Verlander completed his career as the all-time strikeout leader in Old Dominion, the Colonial Athletic Association and the Commonwealth of Virginia (Division I) history with 427 in just 335.2 innings. During his three years, he averaged 11.5 strikeouts per nine innings, and his career collegiate earned run average was 2.57.
Verlander pitched for Team USA in 2003 and helped the USA to a Silver Medal in the Pan Am Games. He was named CAA Rookie of the Year in 2002 and earned All-CAA honors in 2003 and 2004. Verlander was named the ODU Alumni Association's Male Athlete of the Year in 2004, and was the second overall pick in the 2004 Baseball draft by Detroit.

This picture was in the DETROIT FREE PRESS! See that deranged hand desperately hanging onto Magglio's wrist? That's mine! Magglio was putting his arm around me, getting ready to take a picture, and TODD FREAKING JONES came over and had to try to be funny. "Dur hur, take a picture of me and Magglio!" he said. And then Maggs' bodyguard guy moved him along the line after Todd Jones was done being an idiot. I didn't get a picture with him because of Todd Jones. *grumble*

No, he wasn't talking/jesturing to me. He was motioning to someone in the dugout, which is right in front of our seats.

This park was opened in 2000 after the old Tiger Stadium (Briggs Stadium) had been the home of the Detroit Tigers since 1912. As with many of the other modern stadiums, it's built new to look old. The unique features of this park are the beer garden, the small ferris wheel, and the Chevrolet Fountain, dancing waters in center field. PacBell Park (now AT&T Park) in San Francisco opened at the same time, and seems much nicer.
