00:00Justin Verlander announced he's going to retire at the end of the season.
00:06Injuries have sidelined him in Detroit for all but one start this year.
00:10He's going to make the All-Star team.
00:11I love how Rob Manfred has this new Legends of the Game spot.
00:16This is absolutely terrific.
00:18It's absolutely tremendous.
00:20So he will be in Philly next week.
00:22He'll be able to tip the cap, soak it in, and I will make this case, right?
00:27Justin Verlander is not only a first ballot Hall of Famer, he is a unanimous Hall of Famer.
00:33And I don't want to hear, well, this guy wasn't unanimous, and that guy wasn't unanimous,
00:38and Tom Seaver, and just because idiots and dopes and morons and gatekeepers found it up
00:45in the past, don't mess it up here.
00:48Justin Verlander, you look at his resume, this is, without question, first ballot unanimous
00:56Hall of Fame.
00:57Simple as that.
00:58I mean, he's won a couple World Series, won three Cy Youngs.
01:02Look at the top five and top ten finishes as well.
01:04Won an MVP, won a Triple Crown.
01:07You know, sometimes All-Star selections for hitters can be inflated.
01:12You have to get picked based upon genius as a pitcher.
01:18Ten-time All-Star, that's a big deal.
01:20So, if you don't think Justin Verlander is Hall of Fame worthy, honestly, A, I don't like
01:28you, B, I don't respect you, C, you should lose your votes.
