If you live in Detroit and you don't know who Justin Verlander is then I have no idea why you clicked on this blog.
Please turn off your computer and step away in shame.
For the rest of us: Justin's brother, Ben, is also part of the Detroit Tigers' organization where his brother has had such stellar success. Ben Verlander is a left fielder for the Connecticut Tigers.
The younger brother went to Old Dominion just like JV and also has a strong grasp of Twitter.
Wednesday afternoon, he sent out a tweet that literally made me laugh out loud. Yes, I am easily amused, I know this, but I think you will laugh as well.
The captions reads, ".@JustinVerlander and I try so hard to make the Verlander name proud. Then dad goes and sets us back 20 years."
