Miguel Cabrera signed his first professional baseball contract at age 16 with the Florida Marlins. He progressed their minor-league system and made his MLB debut at the age of 20.
Miggy played in 87 games that year as Florida won their first World Series. Cabrera had 18 hits in the post season. The following year he made the first of his 16 career All Star appearances.
After the 2007 season, the Marlins traded him to Detroit. In his first seven seasons with the Tigers, Cabrera hit .325, averaging 36 homers and 121 RBI per season.
Coming into the 2015 season, Cabrera was on a clear trajectory to Cooperstown. His resume was nearly complete. Headed by the 2012 Triple Crown, it boasted two batting crowns, and a pair of league-leading seasons in both homers and RBI. With 390 homers and 2,186 hits, all he needed was a major statistical milestone to be an absolute lock for the game’s highest honor. That came on May 16, 2015.
Sitting at 399 career homers, Cabrera wasted no time in achieving his milestone moment. Before a sellout crowd of 45,313 at Busch Stadium, Cabrera sent pitcher Tyler Lyons’ full-count offering deep over the centerfield wall. He had his milestone; his ticket to Cooperstown was secure.

What is really amazing about Cabrera winning the Triple Crown is that: A) He is a right handed batter… and it’s much harder for right handers to win the batting crown and B) he gets virtually no infield hits because he is so SLOW. This really makes his achievement that much greater. A .330 Batting Average, for a right hander…with no wheels at all…WOW!!
He’s amazing, but such an intelligent player, especially at the plate. It’s been wonderful to be able to watch him just get better every year-since he’s been a Detroit Tiger!
quiet superstar doesn’t get the publicity
Ive also heard that he was born with a tooth growing out of his left foot
and to hit that many in home runs in a park that is not homer friendly could have had 100 more in a new Yankee stadium and similar parks… ❤️ My Tiger
The best part of Miggy is, he loves the game & plays it like a kid…He has fun with players & fans. He also happens to b one of the best hitters of all time.
You are a very good player and u deserve the Hall of Fame; you have my vote
