Justin Verlander's Brother Tries To Embarrass Him With Old Basketball Photo

I always wished I had a brother. Younger or older, it didn't matter. I just wanted someone to hang out with who would push me in sports. My older sister wasn't going to do that and my father didn't care if I played sports as long as I was having a good time while playing.

The Verlander brothers really seem to enjoy each other's company.

Earlier this year, Ben called out big brother Justin for caring around a bag of dog poop while he was out with his super model girlfriend Kate Upton.

Ben, once again took a shot at Justin Thursday afternoon for what I would call a semi-embarrassing photo of him from what appears to be high school.

"What an intimidating force you must have been on the basketball court. @JustinVerlander," wrote the younger Verlander.

I would imagine that Justin was actually a quite good basketball player in his day. He is 6'5" so he would have been able to do some damage in the post. The photo is funny. Let's not try to fool ourselves, though, we all made that face in any high school photo.
