It was a sweet sight while it lasted Thursday night after the Tigers' critical playoff victory in California.
A prankish edit of the Oakland Athletics' page on Wikipedia showed the team owner as Justin Verlander.
Jeannine Seidl of Detroit snapped an image of the hack before it was fixed to show Lew Wolff and John Fisher as the real owners.
Seidl, who earned an advertising degree at MSU in 2011, is a travel blogger and online content manager for UpTo, a software startup in the M@dison Building downtown.
As for Verlander, he did "own" Oakland in a slang sense after shutting the team out for seven innings of Game 2 last weekend in the American League Central Division series and holding them scoreless for eight innings Thursday night to clinch the first playoff round.
