Cabrera had drawn plenty of criticism over the past couple of years for all the money he was making and how he struggled to stay healthy. Then again, it’s not like he had anything else to prove at this point in his career.
A Triple Crown winner, World Series champion, 2-time MVP, and one of the greatest pure hitters in the history of baseball; the internet went nuts over Miggy’s 3,000th career hit. Here, we gathered some of the funniest memes and reactions to it.
The Detroit Tigers entered the season as a somewhat dark horse to get a Wild Card spot, yet they’ve had a tough start of the season, mostly due to injury. Javier Baez has been on the shelf for some time now and that’s taken a toll on their chances.

With countless accolades under his belt, there’s no doubt Cabrera’sincredible career will end in Cooperstown once it’s all said and done. But what’s the rush? Miggy isn’t going anywhere and he’s not done making history yet.
