He's in the starting lineup.

 

Damn:

 

Verlander off Astros wild-card roster.

I don't know where my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Hugle, is today. But in 1968, she forbid us from watching the World Series because she didn't like baseball. I ran home just in time to see Northrup's triple go over Flood's head in Game 7.
