OT- Miguel Cabrera hits HR #400

Submitted by WMUgoblue on May 16th, 2015 at 2:24 PM

In his first at bat of the game against the Cardinals this afternoon Miggy went deep to center and hit his 400th career HR, another milestone in an already HoF type of career.

For reference of the people he's chasing down.

I'm not a baseball guy but...a while back I hadn't been to a Tigers game in a long long time. Then, I went to a game and Cabrera hit TWO home runs. The next game I went to he hit two. A couple years later my cousin was at a game and he called me and said "I'm at a tigers game drinkin on the company's dime...yada yada yada..." He said Cabrera was up. I said .."Miggy's going to yard. You watch...." POP. GONE.
Cool story bro..I know. But...no one throws to that guy and he STILL does it. He's amazing. We are witnessing greatness. We are so lucky to have him.
