DETROIT, MICH (WXYZ) - Now you can cheer on Detroit Tiger Justin Verlander and eat his very own cereal!
And, there's another reason to cheer: Justin is donating all the proceeds to charity.
That's right, pitching ace Justin Verlander now has a frosted flakes cereal called, "Fastball Flakes." But, there's no guarantee that if you eat "Fastball Flakes" that you'll soon be pitching like Justin.
The cereal is only available at Meijer stores in the Detroit area, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids, although you can purchase it online at: www.plbsports.com .
All the monies go to the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. A huge veterans booster, Verlander also began the Verlander's Victory for Veterans Foundation, which helps Michigan vets.
The cereal is a limited edition with a box made for collectors offering a special photo of American League MVP and Cy Young Award
