Justin Verlander has won this year’s American League Cy Young Award. Following on, his supermodel wife, Kate Upton, has gone trending online. That too, for a tweet from long back in 2016. Consequently, MLB fans have erupted into laughter on social media. 

Verlander won the award after receiving all 30 first-place votes. Thus making him the unanimous prize-winner. While Dylan Cease came second, Alek Manoah at third, Shohei Ohtani at fourth, and Framber Valdez fifth. The award came as the icing on the cake for Verlander after he recently won the World Series with the Houston Astros. 

However, alongside the news of Verlander’s achievement, Upton’s resurfacing tweet has created quite some buzz. The tweet was from when Verlander lost out on votes for the Cy Young Award. The fans have found the tweet to be rather amusing.
