Miguel Cabrera is one hit closer to reaching 3,000. And he has tied a baseball legend in the process.
In his 19th MLB season, the Detroit Tigers' future Hall of Famer singled to deep right field in the second inning Friday against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park. It's career hit 2,873 for the 38-year-old, tying him with Babe Ruth for 45th on major league baseball's all-time hits leaderboard.
Albert Pujols, 41, is the only active player with more hits than Cabrera, with 3,253 hits, 14th all-time.
A Hall of Famer and seven-time World Series champion, Ruth played 22 seasons in the majors from 1914-35.
