Morneau Video Game Spat (Video)

Justin Morneau

Promotional spot for the upcoming MLB 2K10… Humor! I’m not certain if Justin M has had any huge moments against Verlander in the past, but do you happen to remember the Canadian launching a home run off that smoke throwing Tiger reliever Zumaya during the epic march to the 2006 division?!
