Detroit — When he was a rookie breaking in with the Oakland Athletics, Tigers manager AJ Hinch faced Dwight Gooden, Pedro Martinez and Roger Clemens.

Let me make this easy for Justin Verlander. He was a Detroit Tiger. He still feels like a Tiger. And he will forever be a Tiger. This is why any conversation or confusion over which cap Verlander will wear on his Hall of Fame plaque is a little silly. Anyone can look at the stats,
