There’s one common, looming bucket list item of the Detroit Tigers fanbase: seeing fan favorite Justin Verlander don the Olde English D once more.
One request I have for when Verlander starts discussing retirement is to offer him a one-day contract so that he can end his career wearing a Detroit Tigers uniform.
Few have done this before, but one player that stands out to me is Roy “Doc” Halladay.
Doc became a household name and pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, the same team that drafted him in 1995.
