Aww …

Model Kate Upton had a baseball tossed to her during Monday’s Tigers-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium by her boyfriend, Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander.

Upton was sitting behind the dugout, a prime spot to receive a baseball.

Somehow she was able to capture his attention, so he flipped the ball to her, bouncing it atop the dugout roof.

And Upton, 22, smiled and smiled, and cherished her baseball forever, or until she left, anyway. She was seen clutching the baseball as she departed, a special souvenir from her trip to the ballpark.
