Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton brings star power to Holland's family fare to promote her latest beverage line
Justin Verlander's wife Kate Upton returned to the limelight as she attended the Butternut Family Fare in Holland to promote vodka-based cocktail company Vosa Spirits. Vosa's beverages are currently available in Florida, Illinois and Texas.
Last month, the beverages were made available for Houston Astros fans at the Minute Maid Park. They are also sold at Spec's and Total Wine. Vosa Spirits offers different types of vodka alcohol, including its signature cocktail that has six-time distilled vodka.
"I'm so excited to be here in Holland, Michigan, for Vosa," Upton told FOX 17. "It's a huge place where Vosa is really successful, and so I wanted to come and celebrate that success all together and meet the people who love the product."
Upton revealed that she loves the lemon-flavored variety of the beverage, while her husband Justin Verlander loves the pomegranate and the lemon-flavored varieties.
Upton is currently involved with the marketing campaign of Vosa Spirits.
"I got involved with Vosa because it launched in Michigan," she said. "I tried the product, and I reached out and really wanted to talk to them because I was a big fan."
Justin Verlander wishes to achieve a milestone before retirement
Justin Verlander is known for his hard work, and ever since his return from the injured list on Wednesday, he's increased his practice session to 90 pitches. He recently made a comeback against the Philadelphia Phillies, securing one walk with three strikeouts over five innings and giving four runs in seven hits.
Verlander suffered a three-run homer at the hands of Nick Castellanos after throwing four separate scoreless innings. Still, he has held high hopes for himself, since he doesn't want to hang up the gloves yet. He would want to achieve a certain milestone before he decides to retire.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner made it clear during his appearance on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball game that he wasn't thinking about retirement just yet. Instead, Verlander is looking to get his name in the 300-win group.
This feat has only been achieved by 24 pitchers in MLB history. Verlander wants to be the 25th player to get into this exclusive club. As of now, he's 40 victories behind his target.
