One of the greatest arms to be from the Commonwealth !
Verlander becomes 10th pitcher in MLB history with 3,500 strikeouts 👏 https://thescore.com/s/32028313
Justin has a little brother who could throw the ball as well and both attended Goochland High School 🏫.
The head Baseball ⚾️ Coach back then had quite the sense of humor in regards to just how much he had to do with the future career of the talented right hander.
Ben Verlander went from Goochland to Old Dominion University, making a stop ✋in the Valley Baseball League along the way. Ben spent five years in the Detroit Tigers 🐯 organization and currently works for Fox as an analyst.
Big Brother is still hard at it and just became the tenth pitcher in the history of Baseball ⚾️ to strike out 3,500 batters.
Not bad for a couple of Pitchers from a small school in Virginia !
The conversation with their Head Coach at Goochland High took place in the press box during coverage of a High School Football 🏈 playoff game between Goochland and one of our teams from the Northern Virginia Daily.
I would think that one has to have a sense of humor when you have coached on of the Greatest of All-Time.
