Miguel Cabrera Slides Into Second Base After Hitting First Home Run of 2021 MLB Season

Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera hit the first home run of the 2021 MLB season on Thursday, smacking the ball over the right field fence in less-than-ideal conditions to give Detroit a 1-0 lead.

While Cabrera got the Tigers on the board with a solo home run off Cleveland ace Shane Bieber, he didn't originally know he hit a dinger.

The deep fly got lost in driving snow in Detroit, originally forcing Cabrera to slide into second base before heading toward home.

Cabrera's first home run of 2021 continues his quest toward one of the most exclusive clubs in MLB history.
