Dave Dombrowski interrupts Justin Verlander’s press conference [Video]

When Justin Verlander broke into the league with the Detroit Tigers all the way back in 2005, Dave Dombrowski was the team’s general manager. Unfortunately, despite getting there twice, the two were never able to win a World Series together in the Motor City. Now, Verlander, who pitches for the Houston Astros, and Dombrowski, who is the President of Baseball Operations for the Philadelphia Phillies are back in the World Series, but this time they are on opposing sides.

How did Dave Dombrowski interrupt Justin Verlander’s press conference?

On Thursday, Verlander was doing his pre-World Series press conference when Dombrowski decided to have some fun.

According to Brian McTaggart, Dombrowski jokingly asked Velander where he got his start.

Verlander then joked that Dombrowski still wears the same cologne as he did during his time in Detroit.

“He’s still wearing the same cologne, by the way,” Verlander said.
