Tigers 5, Guardians 2: Miggy Says Goodbye

Bush was President of the United States, Jean Chrétien was Prime Minister of Canada, and Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the UK. The number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 was “21 Questions” by 50 Cent (featuring Nate Dogg). I was a still-wet-behind-the-ears physics teacher, gasping for breath at the end of the school year. José Miguel Cabrera Torres, a skinny 20-year-old from Maracay, Venezuela, a city of about...

The Miguel Cabrera era concludes with his usual good timing
Photo by Duane Burleson/ It’s been a week well blended in sadness and joy as the Tigers fans say goodbye to one of brightest stars in franchise history. This is how it’s supposed to end.

Tigers 8, Guardians 0: Tigers convert plenty of walks into RBIs today
Photo by Duane Burleson/ Don’t let that photo fool you, the game went great. The photo is just funny. Well, we’re down to the last two Miguel Cabrera games, and if you tuned in before first pitch today I hope you had tissues handy, because the Tigers farewell ceremony to Cabrera unlocked a few tears for me.
