Justin Verlander's daughter pulls him from his final MLB game
Among local news stations of its size, NBC Chicago sits in a comfortable middle spot. The channel draws more daily views than crosstown FOX 32 Chicago, while the two big Philadelphia stations run well ahead. The upload standing out right now, though, is not local news at all.
"Justin Verlander's daughter pulls him from his final MLB game" is moving at about twenty-three times the pace of a typical first day on the channel. New NBC Chicago clips usually open with a few thousand views and then make way for the next segment. This one is not yet a day old and is already far past that.
The man in the title had one of the great pitching careers of his era: an MVP and a Cy Young Award in the same season with Detroit, three Cy Youngs in all, and two World Series titles in Houston. After all that, the final pitching change of his career was made by his daughter.
