Has Justin Verlander Thought About Which Hat He Wants On His Hall Of Fame Plaque?
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Justin Verlander joins the Dan Patrick Show and the future Hall of Famer admits he doesn't know which hat should be on his plaque when he's eventually inducted.
 
Only MLB pitchers with 300+ IP and <=75 ER in any 49-start span since they lowered the mound in 1969:
Vida Blue
Dwight Gooden
Greg Maddux
Pedro Martinez
Roger Clemens
Clayton Kershaw
Jake Arrieta
Jacob deGrom
Justin Verlander
Max Fried
Tarik Skubal
 
July 5, 2025: Hard to believe that Justin Verlander made his MLB debut 20 years ago tonight in Cleveland in the 2nd game of a DH.
AJ Hinch was not in baseball,
Scott Harris was in High School,
Max Clark was 8 months old.
 
11,428 men have stepped foot on an MLB mound. Only 9 have struck out more hitters than Justin Verlander.

Justin Verlander's 1st vs. 3500th Career Strikeouts.
 
Justin Verlander threw 121 pitches today in 5 shutout innings. He became the first 40+ year old with 100 plus pitches since Randy Johnson did it in 2002 when he threw 149 when he was 40.

Only other pitchers with at least one 10-K game at that age or older in at least the last 125 seasons: Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan, Gaylord Perry.

Justin Verlander picks up his 10th strikeout on his 121st pitch! It’s Verlander’s first outing with double-digit strikeouts since 2022 and the most pitches he’s thrown in a game since 2018!
 
JV now 8th all-time in strikeouts with 3536 to pass Gaylord Perry. Really strong run from Verlander over the last month. He has 3780 total including postseason.

this doesn't make a lot of sense. They didn't want an older pitcher, yet they traded for one that is actually older than JV. He isn't the same person that he was when he was winning Cy Youngs and throwing "temper tantrums". I think he is more like Tiger Woods. Tiger was a huge asshole when he was on top of his game. Now that father time has set in, he has been humbled and is more likeable. I think this is the same with JV. He would have fit in with the Tigers clubhouse just as well as 41 year old Morton.
 
Tigers fans are begging Justin Verlander’s brother to shut up during historic collapse.
Please read the room, and stop talking.

It's amazing how terrible the trade deadline deals ended up and still not much heat on Harris & Co.
 
Renewed Justin Verlander-Tigers buzz is even more exhausting this time around.
Here we go again.

If Verlander had 2 hundred 90 something wins, I would say bring him back so he could win his 300th as a Tiger.

What an incredible chapter in his journey all those career milestones matter, but the way Justin and Kate stepped up for Detroit really shows their hearts. It made me admire Kate even more, not just for her generosity but also how she carries herself with such grace. Even on game days, her style feels purposeful and supportive, never just for show. That blend of compassion and confidence is what truly makes her stand out.
