Justin Verlander on the Kate Upton 'f—' tweet heard round the world after he lost close Cy Young race

We're coming up on the 10-year anniversary of Kate Upton's tweet heard round the world.

The one she fired off at Major League Baseball after Justin Verlander lost a close race for the American League Cy Young Award in 2016.

The model wife of the professional baseball player didn’t think twice about going after the league and calling for the writers who didn't vote for her husband to be exposed.

She wanted answers and went to work.

How much of Upton's social media attack did the future Hall of Fame pitcher know about ahead of time? None.

He didn’t know about it until after it was already underway.

She was several tweets in when he found out about it.

"And so we finished the interview and I go down, and she’s like, 'You're not going to like it.' And sure enough, she had fired off a bunch of stuff, and she had another one preloaded, ready to go."

Upton's disapproval of her husband losing to Rick Porcello by five points was obvious.

She had said all she needed to say in the now infamous tweet.

She wrote for all to see , "Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to f— @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?" By that time, Kate Upton 's work in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and elsewhere had cemented her legacy as a model.

She already had two of her four SI Swimsuit issue covers under her belt.
