Houston Astros star pitcher Justin Verlander and his wife Kate Upton have entered the war on coronavirus.
The MLB star announced Saturday that he’d be donating his paychecks to help those in need during the coronavirus pandemic. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Upton said they’ll be picking and highlighting a new organization every week. You can watch their full video announcement below.
This is a 100% pure class move from Upton and Verlander. Nobody would say anything if they didn’t donate their money.
It’s their money. They can do whatever they want with it, but Verlander clearly understands that there are people in need.

He understands that people have it much worse than him and Upton, especially with the fact the MLB is continuing to pay players.
So, they’ve entered the war, and will be using their vast financial resources to win the fight against coronavirus.
This is the kind of stuff we love to see, and Verlander and Upton both deserve to be applauded for helping those who need it.

Hopefully, more and more people with the means and resources will step up to join the fight. Props to Verlander and Upton for setting one hell of an example.
