Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera delivered the 3,000th hit of his career Saturday, becoming the 33rd major-leaguer to reach the mark.
A two-time AL MVP, a Triple Crown winner and an 11-time All-Star with four batting titles, Miggy’s place among the Major League Baseball greats already was assured long before this afternoon in Detroit.
Among younger players, Jose Altuve has 1,783 and Freddie Freeman had 1,722. Mike Trout was at 1,428. “He is one of the great right-handed hitters ever,” Yankees manager and former Marlins teammate Aaron Boone said this week. Detroit acquired Cabrera in a trade with the Marlins in 2007, with Dontrelle Willis also going to the Tigers in a deal for Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Cabrera had 842 hits at the time.
The Tigers made bold moves in the offseason in a quest to be relevant with Cabrera serving as a draw to bring fans to the ballpark and to hit about one ball per game into the outfield grass with savvy swings after crushing baseballs with incredible force earlier in his career.
