If you live in Detroit and you don't know who Justin Verlander is then I have no idea why you clicked on this blog.

Please turn off your computer and step away in shame.

For the rest of us: Justin's brother, Ben, is also part of the Detroit Tigers' organization where his brother has had such stellar success. Ben Verlander is a left fielder for the Connecticut Tigers.

The younger brother went to Old Dominion just like JV and also has a strong grasp of Twitter.

Wednesday afternoon, he sent out a tweet that literally made me laugh out loud. Yes, I am easily amused, I know this, but I think you will laugh as well.

The captions reads, ". and I try so hard to make the Verlander name proud. Then dad goes and sets us back 20 years."

Come on Papa Verlander how are you going to let your pants have a rip in them like that? Can't one of those boys buy you new jeans?

Richard Verlander has now responded!
