Justin Verlander Wins World Series, Kate Upton Celebrates
Justin Verlander has a World Series win with the Houston Astros. The team towered over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday (Nov. 5) and took home the final prize.
During a post-game press conference, Verlander talked about how the team celebrated. “They gave me the rookie treatment after the game,” Verlander said. “They put me in the cart and rolled me in the shower and just doused me with all sorts of stuff. It was one of the best feelings in my career.”
Of course, fans were stoked, but not nearly as pumped as Verlander’s wife, Kate Upton. Check out photos of the two celebrating below, plus highlights from the game.
