It should come as no surprise that today the Tigers’ Justin Verlander was named the American League Rookie of the Year.
Too bad our last memory of Verlander in his rookie year will be that ill-advised, ill-placed throw to the left-field line in Game 5 of the World Series.
Still, this guy is the goods and probably hasn’t seen the last of postseason awards in his career.
