Leyland awed by Verlander's performance.

Most guys go from 95 [mph] and then by the seventh inning they're down to 92, 91," Leyland continued. "This guy goes from 92 to 94 to 95 in the middle [innings] to 99 to 100 late. That's what is a freak. I'm not calling him a freak. I'm saying it's a freaky thing. I've never seen anything like it."
"The average person sees 98 on the scoreboard, but they don't see the same 98 I see," Leyland said. "I see the difference between the 98 that's more effort and the 98 that's effortless. There's a major difference in that. And that's what he did last night. When he got to 98-100, it was fluid. He wasn't muscling way up. If you really watch close you can see it. It's amazing to me."

Tigers pay tribute to Negro Leagues and players at Comerica park.
from the Tigers official site

Minnie Forbes once played third base for the Kansas City Monarchs and Grand Rapids Black Sox before she took over the Stars and became the third female owner in Negro Leagues' history. Forbes, who has been part of the festivities before, was excited Saturday.

"I'm just honored to be here today and to be able to be recognized with the Detroit Stars," said Forbes on stage in front of crowd of fans gathered before the game in Comerica Park. "The organization was founded in 1919 and to be represented in their honor, thank you."

Other players included Jake Sanders, Pedro Sierra, Bill Hill, Joe Douse, Ron Teasley, Alton King and Melvin Duncan. All shared their stories before taking turns throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.
