The Verlander Game was an instant classic

In 20 years, we may not remember everything about the 2017 season. We may not recall that three different position players pitched this season or that Ashur Tolliver wasn’t the front man of a Pearl Jam tribute band.

We may not even remember bigger individual moments, like Josh Reddick losing a home run off his glove in Boston.

Memory is a tricky thing. It fools us almost as often as it helps us. When dealing with public memory, things get even murkier. But, I can guarantee that Game 2 of this year’s ALCS will be The Verlander Game, forever and always.
