  1. 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!

    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
