What do you get a guy who has a Rookie of the Year Award, an MVP Award and a Cy Young Award -- oh, and also has thrown two no-hitters?
How about a personal birthday greeting from Kate Upton?
That's exactly what Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander got for his 33rd birthday Saturday. Of course, it helps that the two have been dating for quite a while.
Verlander, coming off an impressive finish to the 2015 season (a 2.27 ERA in his final 14 starts), is expected to make his eighth Opening Day start in April.
