Kate Upton admittedly changed her baseball allegiances from the New York Yankees to Detroit Tigers after she officially began dating Justin Verlander in 2013. And hey, nobody should hold that against her. She just wants to stand by her man and support his team. However, it sounds like that very public change-of-heart led to some awkward moments when she visited Yankee Stadium last week.
As you've probably seen or heard by now, Upton was seated directly behind the Tigers' dugout to watch Verlander's Tigers play against the Yankees on Monday night. At one point, they even had a fun exchange where Upton finally convinced Verlander to toss her a souvenir baseball. It was a light-hearted and fun moment, but apparently that's as far as the Yankees were willing to let her go to show her support for Detroit. 
While filling in for Kelly Ripa on Friday's Live! with Kelly and Michael, Upton revealed to co-host Michael Strahan that the Yankees specifically told her she couldn't wear any Tigers' gear while sitting in the Legends seats at Yankee Stadium. Mark Townsend/ Big League Stew
