Day for the ages: Verlander's final start, incredible father-daughter moment AND a walk-off HR!
DETROIT -- Years from now, when folks mention Vintage Verlander, this is what they’ll mean. For days, the Tigers had joked about sending Justin Verlander out like Billy Chapel. Never mind that the latter is a fictional character, an aging, once-great Tigers pitcher portrayed by Kevin Costner in the 1999
