I knew this day was coming, knew I’d never be ready for it.
Miguel Cabrera is the main reason I fell in love with the Tigers and baseball as a whole. Before social media, I heard about the December 2007 trade via a family member who followed the team much closer than I did at

Miguel’s retirement had me in shambles, as expected. Torkelson figured it out. Greene, Carpenter, and Meadows back for a full season. Skubal looked like one of the best pitcher in baseball.

Miguel Cabrera hit his final career home run at Comerica Park.
You’re probably thinking: “Big deal, we already knew this”, right?
Well, the location in which it landed/struck the old outfield wall in right-centerfield has given me an idea.
Stay tuned. 👀💡

Two years ago today. This home run remains one of, if not thee most improbable big fly I’ve ever watched.
I mean, to come off the DL and hit a homer in your first AB is one thing, but first pitch? Off CHRIS SALE!?
This is in 1988 Kirk Gibson territory.

It’ll never cease to amaze me the amount of Tiger fans who never hesitate to dump on Miguel Cabrera whenever he gets injured. It’s almost like they’re praying for his careers’ demise.
He’s the best Tigers hitter you’re ever going to see, try giving him the benefit of the doubt.

If Miguel Cabrera didn’t call Comerica Park (and it’s massive center field) home, he’d be approaching 600 home runs, not 500. And I don’t think that’s much of a stretch.
