He became the first batter to win a Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.

only player with 3k hits 300 avg and triple crown winner

[@Medicenelmono]

and also won a world series

[@VILJL]

@@Medicenelmono He played in two World Series. Won with the Marlins in 2003 and lost with Detroit Tigers in 2012

[@TwimsFan]

@@VILJL It's easy to forget about that Marlins series

3k 500hr 300 AVG un fenómeno

[@Est.1998]

Miguel hitting bombs, Verlander pitching no hitters, and Rod and Mario calling games. My childhood was amazing. Those were some great summers.

[@carlpacquing2575]

Miggy was such a feared hitter during this period. There's probably no other hitter that scared me more when he was at the plate.

[@zac4073]

Miggy was so damn good during those MVP seasons. I remember tracking his stats daily not even being a Detroit fan

[@thepoisonouspotato3631]

What a legend, so happy he has a ring, and as a HUGE Astros fan who loves Verlander, I wish he had more rings with Verlander

[@aberdeenblades]

It’s so nice watching these old highlights & not having to hear Shep make the call (until the end). Gracias Miggy 🤙

[@jakehill7004]

Should be a unanimous hall of famer. The reason I fell in love with the game. Thank you Miggy 🧡💙

[@MatthiaGryffine]

Miguel Cabrera is easily my favourite MLB player in this century

[@TiagoGomez-hb9te]

Why?

[@tyreepowell8367]

Good Luck To Miguel Cabrera On His Retirement I Wish You The Best And Thank You For The Wonderful Memories.

[@VILJL]

Miguel Cabrera, in 2012, won the Triple Crown, finishing the season with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs, and 139 RBIs to become the first player to lead his league in all three categories since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. No one has won the Triple Crown since (2023)

Una leyenda 🎉

There are some achievements that should get you into the Hall of Fame all on their own. This is one of them.

[@nicholasmelchor3038]

If it wasn’t for Albert we would be saying miggy is the best hitter of this generation. Still a first ballot hofer and a all time great

[@StewieGriffin111]

Miggy is the best hitter of the generation he’s in exclusive clubs Pujols isn’t in

[@jordan-matthewdavis]

​@@StewieGriffin111Yeah but that 700hr club hits different 😅

[@zuldagamer1875]

It also help when injuries killed miggys legs the last 6 years

[@StewieGriffin111]

@@jordan-matthewdavis miggy is in clubs more exclusive than the 700 homer club

[@rdr4095]

@@StewieGriffin111im a cabrera fan and even i know pujols is #1 on the list of 21st century’s greatest hitters (besides steroid barry 2001-04). 2000’s st. louis albert was a monster. The guy did 1.100 ops 4 times. 40+ homers 6 times in an 8 year span. In 2006 he hit 49 homers while striking out only 50 times. He’s got 200+ hits, 50+ doubles, and 180+ homers on miguel. #2 is either cabrera or arod, which depends on how people feel about arod.

[@jacksonsettles7490]

This was when he was my favorite player

[@gwp.2510]

Miggy is the best 👏👏

[@whohasmygun9909]

This was my Aaron judge before him love it🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

King Cabrera!

[@crypticzomb8994]

Man I miss these tigers… prime Miguel leading the way on the offense

[@weatherchaser1166]

We were at the game when they pulled him to get his due. He was given a standing ovation with a curtain call........in Kansas City

[@DrD313]

Comerica Park is a terrible hitters park but Miggy was an amazing hitter with big time power. His numbers are incredible.

[@123slasher.16]

In my lifetime I saw Denny McClain's 1968 season, Isiah Thomas' 1985 season, Barry Sanders' 1997 season and Mark Fridrych's 1976 season . They all were great but NONE of them compared to 2012 MIGGY and that's saying something. Legendary Detroit iconic moments.

[@sourapple6604]

That's a great picture on the thumbnail

[@gabrielsantiago6656]

100 home runs: August 23 2006 His next 100 home runs 200 home runs: August 23 2009 Three exactly years later, that’s crazy

[@tpw0954]

He's just different

[@트라웃-g7r]

Although detroit was lost in world series, detroit made Cabrera win american MVP

[@cheogt4623]

When he was a kid in Vzla, he was already so different, just a Kid and already the star of his team by achievements not just by projection, I remember him destroying my vzlan team aspirations 😆

[@yw99j]

DET legend!!

I remember the stupidity folks were saying to hype Trout for MVP saying the Triple Crown was no big deal . Trout missed the postseason, Miggy carried Detroit to the World Series.

[@aaronbison8202]

miss when the tigers were good man

[@Vasemmalta]

This makes me really miss Rod & Mario.

[@pixelythegamer3260]

Ah yes, the early 2010’s A much simpler time for our early childhoods

[@garywright7826]

It's still Kaline .

[@stuart6552]

Ty Cobb would like a word w yall

[@stoneymon2607]

Miggy one of the best hitters of the 21st century so far. I’d say pujols is 1 but Miggy is close 2nd

[@RealHexJoker]

.300 career avg 500 hr 3000 hits 600 doubles only he and Aaron

[@aidanocallaghan9346]

And Aaron didn’t have a triple crown

[@aidanocallaghan9346]

@s.s.chapter2219 not to discredit Todd Helton as he is one of the most underrated and under-looked hitters in the steroid era of the game, Comerica park is primarily a pitchers ballpark and never has been hitter friendly. If miggy played there half the games in his career it’s possible he could have touched 550 or even more hrs. Jutting 370 hrs as a tiger when half of them were in comerica is a feat of itself.

[@petepax]

Prob would have over 600 hr if he didn’t play in Comerica park

[@TiagoGomez-hb9te]

Why do you say that?

[@petepax]

@@TiagoGomez-hb9te they only brought in and lowered the walls in 2023

[@antonioreconquistador]

How the rangers choked all september, the yankees choked on the ALCS after jhonny peralta reamed jeter, and the tigers choked on the entire world series, made 2012 kinda interesting.

[@ElzMCgamer]

Miggy can you come back, I’m not liking this season so far…

[@SmokeyNades]

2012 🧹

[@joselozada132]

And 2013

[@nickm2294]

His numbers would’ve been even better if he didn’t play for Detroit.

[@InsensitiveLout]

Can the Tigers let bygones be bygones and bring Mario back? Please?

[@YooperHatesOhioState]

Tigers baseball is not gonna be the same without him

[@BigFella2769]

Who can get the next one? Ronald? Judge? Mike Ford?

[@cheogt4623]

Acuna is 1st at bat, too hard to get enough RBIs, so I think Judge has the better chance
