The Minnesota Twins paid tribute to future Hall of Fame pitcher Justin Verlander with a pregame video on Wednesday ahead of his final career series in Minnesota.
The video highlighted memorable AL Central matchups and messages from former Twins stars like Torii Hunter and Joe Mauer who battled against Verlander during his 21-year career.
"I just want to congratulate you on an incredible career," said Mauer, who had a lifetime batting average of .317 against Verlander.
"It was an honor to share the field and compete against you. The truth of the matter is you were a true ace."
Following his retirement announcement in July 2026, this series marks Verlander's final regular-season trip to Minneapolis as a member of the Tigers.
