Miguel Cabrera will play his last week in the big leagues, and Royals pitchers can breathe a sigh of relief. He has terrorized Kansas City in his 21-year big league career that will culminate with induction into Cooperstown someday. No opposing hitter has more hits against the Royals than Cabrera’s 266 hits. He has the seventh-most hits than any hitter against the Royals (46) and the ninth-most home runs (35). The four-time batting champ and two-time MVP will still have three more games to add to that list this week.
Cabrera certainly isn’t the hitter he was at his peak and the Tigers are not the team they were in those days either.
