Cabrera has certainly accomplished a lot during his career.
He has been selected to 12 All-Star Games, has won two MVP Awards, a Triple Crown, and a World Series ring.
The Tigers are not expected to have much success this year, but it should be a fun year to celebrate one of the game’s greatest players who has been around for so long and accomplished so much.
Affectionately known as “Miggy,” Cabrera is one of the most well-respected players in the history of baseball.
His Triple Crown season came in 2012.
That year, he helped lead the Tigers to the World Series for the first time since 2006.
He reached the 3,000-hit mark early last season and had the entire City of Detroit rallying behind him.
Cabrera will have the support of the entire baseball world as he looks to finish off a legendary career on a positive note.
