Justin Verlander made headlines this offseason when he revealed the secret of his success until the late night host Conan O'Brien. Before each of his starts, Verlander said he likes to make a run for the border and down to eat your favorite item from Taco Bell.
And lest you doubt that Verlander did not really eat three crispy taco Supremes (no tomato), and the cheesy gordita crisis and Mexican pizza (no tomato), Detroit Tigers ace tweeted pictures of food on Wednesday night. According to Taco Bell website, it's about 1630 calories, 96 grams of fat and 2,300 mg of salt sitting on the coffee table Verlander.

We'll see how it agrees with him when he faced the Boston Red Sox in the first game at Comerica Park today, but Tiger fans may not have to worry about it damaging their dream to win the whole enchilada. Using the same routine in 2011, Verlander went 24-5 with a, 2.40 ERA 250 strikeouts, no-hitter against the Blue Jays and the first Cy Young awards in his career.
