Miguel Cabrera slides into second – after hitting a homer!

It was so snowy in Detroit that he didn’t know the ball had left the park!

By the way, Miggy should finish the season with 3,000 hits and 500 homers. Only six players in history have done that. Nobody had ever done it until 1970, when Mays and Aaron crossed the finish line together, but it has become more commonplace in today’s slugging game.

A-Rod 3115/696
Mays 3283/660
Aaron 3771/755
Pujols 3236/662
Palmiero 3020/569
Murray 3255/504

Aaron is the only one with 3500/600, and he easily cleared that bar.

  1. You were there?!? You should get the Order of Candlestick or something.
    I couldn’t tell from TV at all. Weirdest homer against the Tribe since Texeira’s popup to shallow right became the first homer in the new Yankee Stadium. “Fausto Carmona” damn near fell off the mound.

    1. Bill, honestly, I shouldn’t have gone. Even with free tickets. It was awful sitting there in that weather. I still feel cold.And weird, with all the Covid stuff. I won’t go back til summer, at least

      1. Well at least you’re alive. I generally go up and catch two Indians series at the Jake (I live in DC) in a given year. Never before May 15.
        I looked up the Candlestick thing and it was actually Croix de Candlestick bearing the motto “Veni, Vidi, Vixi (I have lived)”. Any student of Roman history can tell you that Vixi might have ominous implications (see Cataline Conspiracy).

  2. Wasn’t just him. It was very hard to tell in the cold, wind, and snow. I was there and I thought It was foul.
