Detroit — Up until the fourth inning Sunday, this was shaping up as a most memorable day at Comerica Park.
It was MiggyFest and as they typically do, the Tigers produced a wonderful tribute honoring Miguel Cabrera for achieving the 3,000-hit and 500-home run milestones. Manager AJ Hinch and former Tigers’ All-Star catcher Alex Avila gave stirring speeches.
“Miguel, thank you for creating this memory for all of us,” Hinch said. “I’m often asked what it’s like to manage Miggy? It’s the best to manage one of the best of all-time.”
Among the dignitaries on hand were chairman and CEO Christopher Ilitch and general manager Al Avila, both of whom were booed upon introduction.
