@tigers @MiguelCabrera Last year I got to hear 500 in my car on my way to lunch from work. It was magic. Windows down, guy next to me was listening also with the windows down.
Today, I watched alone, isolating with covid, tears in my eyes. Beautiful.
Thank you, Miggy. Thank you for a wild ride!

One fan got a picture with Cabrera and claims he is his all-time favorite player. On top of that, fans encouraged the legendary baseball player to aim for 600 home runs.
@tigers @MiguelCabrera Got a picture with him before a game about 10 years ago. My all-time favorite player, the only other player who comes close for me is Pudge. So happy for ya @MiguelCabrera couldn’t be more well deserved. Go and get that 600th double
