Detroit — Justin Verlander still has a soft spot for the city of Detroit, even though he hasn't worn the Olde English D since the summer of 2017.
On Friday, the former Tigers ace, along with wife Kate Upton, announced a series of donations to the city, as it continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We've been reading a lot about this pandemic and are really heartbroken to hear what's been happening in Detroit," Verlander said in a video.
