Miguel Cabrera Gets Standing Ovation, Curtain Call From Opposing Crowd After Winning Triple Crown

Last night, Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera became the first player since 1967 to win baseball’s Triple Crown. The slugger finished the year with a .330 average, 44 home runs, and 139 RBI.

There was a lot of speculation if he’d play the season’s final game or take the day off to secure his lead over Mike Trout in the average department. He did suit up – his 161st game of the year – and went 0-2 before being taken out to a standing ovation from the road crowd.

Pretty cool baseball moment.

Kudos to Kansas City fans for their class in recognizing the incredible season Cabrera has authored.
