Why Miguel Cabrera is the BEST Tiger…Ever? | A Baseball Story

Miguel Cabrera is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. As one of only THREE players with 3000 Hits, 500 HRs, and 600 Doubles, he is also, by the numbers, the greatest Venezuelan Baseball player ever. And we almost were robbed of it... But is he the greatest Detroit Tiger ever???
Come join me as I look back at the illustrious Career of Miguel Cabrera! Because he may have put up "Hall of Fame" worthy numbers, but did you know that it all almost came crashing down in 2011???? That's right! And not only did he not let that moment ruin him, it has led to him wanting to be a staple of the Detroit community after his playing days are done as he builds on his already generous ways! We walk through all of it, including his impact on the Venezuelan Baseball community!
Then stick with me as we walk through some other Detroit Tiger Legends... Where are my Ty Cobb fans at??? We also look closer at a couple of other Tiger Greats ...*Cough* Hank Greenberg *Cough*... in order to see where Cabrera stacks up in a team rich with history! You might be surprised at some of the stats!
But after unpacking everything... Is Miggy the BEST TIGER EVER?? Let me know in the comments!
20:26 - I forgot about Kaline's final season not with Detroit, but couldn't fix the edit! Have fun with it in the comments, Baseball Fans!

Over Cobb Greenberg and Kaline? Thats a pretty bold statement.

[@bigfloridapimp]

In fairness, he did say, "might make him the greatest." I think this was just making the case that, it should absolutely be a conversation between them and Miggy

[@chunkymonkey428]

Ty Cobb’s numbers at 15:11 holy shit…. He was an animal

[@talmanyoung1431]

Greatest right handed pure hitter of all time

[@chunkymonkey428]

For the Cobb argument look at the ops+ stat

[@DetroitSportsFanSince2002]

Miguel Cabrera is my favorite Tigers player of all time along with Justin Verlander I wish they won a World Series with each other ☹️😩

[@Markmen-cw8dj]

Ty cobb gotta be up there as one of the best tigers tho

[@DetroitSportsFanSince2002]

@@Markmen-cw8dj I never witnessed Ty Cobb 😂😂😂 so Miguel Cabrera is my favorite Tigers player of all time also I never witnessed Hank Greenberg, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker too

[@El_Joe._.]

Dude great video man. Keep it up.

[@SaltoDaKid]

Wish Miggy was able stay with the Marlins but he’s forever best marlins and Tiger player and I’ll argue, one greatest righty to ever play the game.

[@brockwhan6243]

All those demons and Oakland gifts him a bottle of wine. Who cares if it was "cheap?" That shit is just disrespectful.

[@SaltoDaKid]

The Astros and other team did same thing. I though they were being asshole.

[@andrayday8064]

Miggy is the best. Now there is some conversation for people like Ty and Hank Greenburg but their era was never this competitive.

[@danksmoker420]

Ty cobb

[@mjisthegoat88]

ty cobb is a top 5 player ever soooo….

[@othgmark1]

Al Kaline also better in a pitchers era.

[@joshuaperkins2545]

Ty Cobb is arguably the greatest ball player ever, as a Royals fan I KNOW how good Mickie was, but Cobb was so much better.

[@smoceany9478]

hes not the greatest ever, hes one of the best but not the best

[@brianstabile165]

@@smoceany9478your wrong,Ty Cobb went head to head with everyone,lead them to 3 ALCS and won theme

[@smoceany9478]

@@brianstabile165 ima be honest idk if ty cobb won an alcs considering he literally could not have

[@mpaulm]

Sorry, but Cobb and Hank Greenberg are the best Tigers ever.

[@andrayday8064]

The eras are vastly different but Miggy clearly played in the more competitive era.

[@SaltoDaKid]

Ty Cobb played in time where batter picked where the ball goes. Also was terrible person openly hurting other players.

[@mpaulm]

@@SaltoDaKid No he didn’t! That was before his time. His stats don’t lie regardless of what kind of morals he had.

[@mjisthegoat88]

@@SaltoDaKidif you’re going to disparage his era, at least get your facts straight

[@Jeenyus]

You’d have to ignore his last 7 seasons where he’s been awful.

[@avgGamer662]

Fraud robbed hundreds of millions of dollars from Tigers

[@zenmar84]

To be fair the tigers know that they were getting robbed, they just gave it to him as a retirement package. The angels is the one that got robbed with the pujols deal. they were not expecting that production dive.

[@danielreach9188]

Not even in the top ten.
