No doubt in my mind Miggy would've had a multiple 50+ HR seasons, and finish his career with at least 600+ HRs if he didn't play in one of the worst ballpark to produce home runs. Comerica Park is a death sentence to most power hitters. Deepest fences, high walls and strong wind all year. Just look at Javier Baez... Truly one of the all time greats.

[@cam1398]

As a Michigan farmer I can say the past decade plus this man has made 7 PM OUR must see TV...So many memories and lessons to be taken into the future from Miggys journey.

My favorite Miggy moment is giving him a huge standing ovation at the K in KC when he clinched the triple crown. As a Royals fan in 2012 we didn't have a ton to root for but all of us Royals fans came out to see him clinch it. We were so proud to witness it happen in our division with such an amazing baseball personality. He tipped his cap to us and later said he appreciated us. Who doesn't love Miggy??? The dude killed my Royals time and time again and we still love him here. The way he had fun with the game is legendary.

[@mr.sinister593]

That game sold me as a fan of KC and at least it's fans, such a class act from the crowd, was amazing.

I love the Royals because of that single moment. I know division rivals aren’t supposed to like each other, but I was so happy to see the Royals achieve what my Tigers couldn’t.

I was in high school when he first suited up for the Tigers. Now I’m in my 30s. The number of at bats I watched of his. The number of times he came through in the clutch. I know it’s time, but it still doesn’t seem right that he’s played his last game. A new era for the Tigers has officially begun.
