The Detroit Pistons have opened the season on a nice little run. The team is 3-0 for the first time since 2008-2009, the last time they made the playoffs.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander took notice on Twitter Friday night after the Pistons beat the Bulls in a gritty overtime game, 98-94.
Twitter user @MoRings42 responded, and somehow equated Verlander congratulating the Pistons for their hot start as the reason why the former Cy Young winner doesn't have a World Series ring.
Verlander responded not once, but twice -- flashing his hardware in the process with some help from his brother, Ben.
@MoRings42 -- a self-proclaimed Yankees fan -- got a large response from Tigers fans on Twitter as well.
I'm sure this little incident won't stop Justin from supporting our local Detroit teams in the future.
