Justin Verlander And His Hacked Photos: A Partial Timeline

Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander made multiple appearances in the wave of celebrity nude pics that leaked Sunday. A big album of photos appear to have been taken from his iPhone, and some of them match up to his MLB schedule.

Using Exif data from some of the photos, we can find locations and dates, and confirm that it was Verlander's account that was hacked, not Kate Upton's. (The other photos in the collection, selfies by Upton and other women, were taken by them and sent to Verlander. Most of those don't contain metadata, however.)
