The INSANE Prime of Miguel Cabrera

  • Miguel Cabrera was one of the greatest hitters of his generation. From a young Venezuelan teenager to one of baseball’s best sluggers, Miggy reached several of baseball’s biggest milestones. Notably, he accomplished a rare feat that hadn’t been seen in 45 years. After 21 seasons in the big leagues, Cabrera called it a career in 2023. In that time, he punched his ticket to what will be an eventual Hall of Fame induction. With his recent retirement still fresh in our minds, it seems fitting to celebrate the illustrious career of Miguel Cabrera.

    Took my son to see his first ever MLB game this year in Detroit when they played the braves. Us being braves fans only fairly recently relocated from the south this was somewhat of a once in a lifetime chance for me to get him to see cabrara play. He had an ABSOLUTE BLAST and was blown away by the size of the stadium. Also, he wanted to be on the jumbotron soooo bad whenever they showed random people in the crowd dancing, however, it just wasn't happenin...until I thought of using miggy careers hits n Homer's signs as a cheat code. They were only a few rows from our seats so starting w miggys 3rd abat he would go get ready by/under the sign whenever miggy was on deck n then once he'd come to the plate they'd in variably show those signs at least once per ab and each time my son would be jumping or dancing his little butt off every time hahaha 😂 even though we ended up a acuna Jr's hr ball AND saw another hr robbed directly in front of us the gettin on the jumbotron was far and away his favorite part of the game. So thank you in directly miggy for making my son's first ever MLB something neither of us will ever forget!!!!

  • @travisp5747
    @travisp5747 8 місяців тому +3

    His 2013 season was his peak season. Everyone mentions his triple crown here and for good reason, but his numbers were even better in ‘13. And those include a whole month of September playing though injuries. Take a look at his numbers on August 31st of that season. He was on pace for 50+ homers and 150+ RBIs and a damn .350 BA which is insane

    Miggy was my childhood hero from 2003-2006 and I still loved him after the Marlins sold him to Detroit. I was so happy that he was the one who won the first Triple Crown in 45 years, and following his milestones in the final years was one of the highlights of following baseball this decade. His joy and love of the game seemed undiminished in 2023 from 2003. Pujols is the true best player of that generation of hitters, but Miggy is not that far behind him in second, and I think Cabrera is around a top 50 player all-time.
