Miguel Cabrera interacting with fans has been one of my favorite things in baseball for quite some time (right up there alongside teammates messing with Adrian Beltre’s head), and Tuesday night brought another great chapter.
During the third inning of the Tigers-Angels game, a young fan wearing a Mike Trout jersey campaigned to get a souvenir from Cabrera while the slugger stood in the on-deck circle. The kid got Miggy’s attention but failed to secure a souvenir due to his Angels jersey, despite the fact that he was wearing a Detroit hat.
Fortunately for that kid, he had a Tigers uniform with him as well, and it just happened to be a Cabrera jersey.
