(6 GIFs) by: Staff In: GIFs, Interesting, Sports Apr 23, 2022 493 Liked! 0 Disliked 27 1GIF On a random Saturday in April, Miguel Cabrera has joined Major League Baseball’s elusive 3,000 Hit Club. With a single in the first inning off of Colorado Rockies pitcher Antonio Sanzatela, Miggy became the 33rd member of the 3,000 Hit Club and just the 7th player in MLB history to have 3,000 hits and 500 homeruns. 2GIF Cabrera broke onto the professional scene at 20 years old when he began his career by winning the World Series with the Florida Marlins in ’03. 3GIF After the 2007 season, in which Cabrera set career highs in both home runs and RBI’s, he was traded to the Detroit Tigers with Dontrelle Willis for 6 players. Since then, he has become one of the most beloved players to ever don a Tigers jersey. 4GIF Although his entire career has been impressive to watch, Cabrera peaked in 2012 when he captured the first Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 when he hit .330 with 44 home runs, and 139 RBIs. 5GIF Unfortunately for Miggy, one record will remain out of reach due to an injury shortened season in 2018 and the covid shortened season of 2020. Just 193 RBIs from the 2,000 RBI Club, Cabrera would have become just the 4th player in history with 3,000+ hits, 500+ home runs, and 2,000+ RBIs. 6GIF Congrats on number 3,000 Miggy. It has been an honor to watch you play these past 20 years. Now go enjoy your retirement tour without the added stress of etching your name in the record books.
