Are you guys mad that Justin Verlander wasn't at Tiger Fest?


Hey guys, especially those of you who braved the weather and went to Tiger Fest last Saturday as cold as it was. Were you disappointed that the top star and face of the franchise, Justin Verlander, wasn't there to sign autographs and take pictures for you? He instead was in Florida rehabbing his arm, but also he's been spending a lot of time with his on again girlfriend, Kate Upton. Now an athlete has a right to a private life, and who wouldn't want to be with Kate, but when the team is giving a function like this for the fans, don't you expect the top players to be there? They're the main ones you went to see. This topic was discussed on sports radio over the weekend and the guys basically said Justin could have taken a couple hours out of his day to fly on his private jet to Detroit to meet and greet the fans, the one's who are responsible for him making all that money, then flew back to Florida to rehab and be with Kate. A pic was even posted on the internet of he and Kate dressed up as pirates at some costume party after he finished rehabbing for the day. But what do you guys think? Should he had been at Tiger Fest or no big deal?
