Justin Verlander twice touched the bill of his cap as he faced home plate, a clear acknowledgement of the warm reception from the fans in Detroit. Pitching for the New York Mets against his former team, the Tigers, on May 4th, 2023, at 5:10 PM UTC, he then had to quickly whip himself into action, transitioning from the emotional moment of his return to the immediate task of delivering the first pitch of the game.
