Verlander was the last active pitcher to have pitched in the Metrodome.
Crazy how time flies.

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

Weirdly when I hear TB and Cannons I think of Cris Carter catching a touchdown but the cannon sound, or maybe fireworks? went off actually before he caught it. That almost had to be in MN in the old Metrodome though.
Not entirely sure this even happened, but it always comes to mind.
