Justin Verlander takes selfie with unsuspecting Justin Verlander fan

“Hey, kid, turn around!” 

It’s hard to look at Justin Verlander’s latest selfie and not immediately have that reaction. You see, Verlander snapped a pic with a kid in a Verlander shirsey inside a Starbucks. Only the kid was turned around looking at the barista and not the guy whose name was on his back.

“Kid, turn around, hurry!”

Roy Halladay did something similar at an amusement park in January, but that was with a fully-grown fan. For the sake of the kid, we’re happy to pass along that Verlander said the kid was surprised when he turned around. We hope Verlander signed the kid’s coffee cup or something. (Wait, why is that kid in a Starbucks line, shouldn’t he be in school?!)

Nonetheless, we’ve decided this could be a great scavenger-hunt type game for pro athletes — trying to find fans wearing their jerseys out in the wild. Like at a coffee shop. Or the mall. Or a grocery store. We’d definitely enjoy the pictures.
