Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander likely made a young fan’s day (or his entire year) seconds after taking a selfie while in line at Starbucks.

The photo, posted Friday, shows Verlander standing behind a boy wearing a Tigers shirt with his name and number on it.

“This little guy was pretty surprised when he turned around,” the caption on the photo says.
