Max Scherzer appears in USA Today crossword

DETROIT--It's not every day that your name appears in the USA Today crossword puzzle. So when Max Scherzer opened Tuesday's crossword, he was in for a treat.

"When you go get your driver's license, as painfully slow as the DMV is, it can be a tortuous experience trying to figure out, you need a three-letter abbreviation for your eye color," Scherzer told reporters before Tuesday's game. "So I thought they were going to put BL-BR on my license and they had to go look up in a book for the eye color. My color is dichro so the three-letter abbreviation is DIC."

The clue was "Max Scherzer's pride" and the correct answer was "arm," but Scherzer had a difference of opinion on the matter and took to Twitter to share his thoughts about what he thought it should have been.
