All rights reserved. Tigers trainers diagnosed a triceps strain. Because it was so mild. A few weeks later, when Verlander hurt himself again, an MRI revealed a tear in his latissimus dorsi his back. Verlander kept Gow involved after that. He finished out the season with three good months and suspected he was back for good. When the deal was struck, he had 30 minutes to decide whether to waive his no-trade clause. Kind of like Annie Gow. He called a few people close to him.
Some said he should stay in Detroit. He was torn. Upton helped him make up his mind. Her life was his life now. And Verlander pitched great, of course. You need to get me more ground balls. I need my defensive stats. But many great veteran athletes have arrived on promising teams and dragged them down with the weight of their toxic self-importance. He gets it. Maybe success is impossible without some sort of counterbalance. Verlander has ebbed this way his entire career.
He falls in love, then his body falls apart. He gets traded to a World Series contender, and a postseason run threatens to upend one of the most important moments in his personal life.
Verlander and Upton planned their wedding to be a multiday affair for early November at a resort in Tuscany. They planned themed days and events and booked private villas for their guests.
In the chaos of moving to Houston and then making the playoff run with the Astros, it fell to Upton to handle moving, along with final wedding plans, along with, you know, being a working supermodel, too. Early in the World Series, Verlander awoke to Upton slapping him, panicked.
She suffered from night terrors. But the pressure from the wedding had gotten to her as well. By Game 5, everything had fallen into place. In Game 6, he was slated to start. Verlander was nearly unhittable through five innings, striking out 8. But the Dodgers scored two runs in the sixth and went on to win , forcing a Game 7. They would have to make do. Hastily so. They returned to the airport, where, garments in hand, they boarded a helicopter.
It took them right to the resort. As they approached from the sky, one hundred of their closest friends and family were waiting for them. They were late, and it was beautiful. He pokes fun at himself.
When he makes a joke, his eyebrows raise from behind his sunglasses in a show of sarcasm. He seems to know now what he was built for and what it takes to navigate through his life with all its ups and downs.
Pain leaves its marks but also gifts. A few weeks later, Upton announced on Instagram that she and Verlander were expecting. Like many new or expecting parents, they see the world a new way now, and they wonder what kind of world their child will inherit. One thing is for certain: The kid will appreciate the beauty of a badass ride.
Just like Verlander. Just like Upton, too. Then he told her about his father, about his childhood dreams, about what they meant beyond the sum of their parts. She started coming around. Now she has a custom-built car of her own. She hand-picked all its parts; watched it take shape from the inside out.
She felt the connection. Probably always will be. Before she was a model, she rode horses. Grew up on ranches, on rough roads, around work that required vehicles that could haul heavy loads. Ferraris are built to be unbeatable. Trucks, unbreakable. He thinks hard about the roads they will take and wonders if there will be any potholes or unpaved terrain.
On such trips, the Ferrari might not be the right fit. Nor would Eleanor. They need something else—something built for what is in store. Follow him on Twitter: brandonsneed. Enjoy our content?
