Living legends and former MLB colleagues Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera showed just why baseball is such an iconic game.
The duo shared in a moment of sportsmanship when the Houston Astros’ pitcher Justin Verlander tipped his cap to longtime former teammate Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers. He got a hat doff in return from the Venezuelan designated hitter.

The Astros landed a gut punch to the Tigers with a 17-4 win, helping them to a 74-58 season so far, tucked in third in a highly competitive AL West Conference.
The Astros, Mariners and Rangers are within one win of each other and are fighting it out to top the log and go deep into the playoffs.
Cabrera is a 12-time All-Star and boasts a 2003 World Series Championship, won in his Rookie season two decades earlier.
His batting average is .307 with 510 career home runs.
Verlander spent 12 years at the Tigers and is a 9-time All-Star and a two-time World Series winner.
Respect is earned, and this inimitable gesture captures the essence of camaraderie.
