It hasn’t happened since 1967 so it is a memorable moment for years to come. Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera won the triple crown. Â Cabrera led the league in hitting (.330), home runs (44), and runs batted in (139). Â Cabrera became the fifteenth player in history to win the title. Â He joins an elite class which includes Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, and Frank Robinson.
Cabrera was one of the most exciting players to watch. Â You never know if he would hit a home run, but this was the guy you wanted at-bat with the game on the line. Â Cabrera and the Tigers went all the way to the World Series. Â Unfortunately, they came up short and were swept by the San Francisco Giants. However, this guy is one of the best hitters I have ever gotten to watch and I expect to see his name in the running for future hitting awards.
