But that wasn't what Cabrera's news conference was about. As he and associates of his new business, Miggy Foods, unveiled their new creation, a candy snack called Bitbits, the former American League Triple Crown winner and two-time AL Most Valuable Player Award winner was looking at life both beyond and after baseball. This is Cabrera the businessman, looking to spread his reach outside the ballpark and into the supermarket aisle.
Bitbits are peanuts or crispy rice treats coated in flavors like milk chocolate and strawberry shortcake. They're available immediately at Comerica Park, where the Tigers and Miggy Foods have a multi-year partnership that includes advertising signage on the outfield and dugout walls.
