Everyone who watched this night will remember where they were when Hall of Famer Ernie Clement began his ascension. Even Miguel Cabrera stepped aside to let the youngster have his time in the spotlight. Could he have cranked a couple of the meatballs that Zach Plesac left him over the plate for his 500th home run? Maybe, but he knew he was in the presence of real history tonight.
Slight exaggeration aside, Ernie Clement did have a very good game tonight, going 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs that also happened to be the first and second of his MLB career.
