Join Me in Swooning over Mr. Verlander
Commenter/reader/strapping violinist ChrisDTX, over yonder in the most recent “Nickname Seeks Player” nomination thread, calls the writer’s attention to what follows, your Daguerreotype of the Evening …
There are not one but two nouns for what you ogle above: handsomeness and handsomity. As for me, I do intend to gaze at the Daguerreotype of the Evening for a bit longer but not until I retrieve my sandalwood hand fan and safely position myself astride the fainting couch.
How could the image above excrete, seep and ooze even more handsomeness and handsomity? I present to you the surely true and accurate description that accompanies the above Daguerreotype of the Evening:

Yes, this is how Mr. Verlander looks while chatting up reporters and mingling with devoted rooters: pocket-squared, lapeled and striking his most intense pre-coitus gaze.
Mr. Verlander, winner of games and hearts.
