Scherzer, who turns 41 on Sunday, pitched for the Tigers from 2010-2014, going 82-35 with a 3.52 ERA as part of a famously elite rotation. During Scherzer’s tenure, the Tigers made the playoffs four times, including an American League title in 2012.

Scherzer spoke out on Friday in defense of Marco Rocco, a 12-year-old Little League player in New Jersey. A judge recently lifted a suspension against Rocco, who was suspended earlier this week for flipping his bat in celebration.
