Tigers 5, Guardians 2: Miggy Says Goodbye

Tigers 5, Guardians 2: Miggy Says Goodbye

Photo by Duane Burleson/ It was the final game of the season, and of Miguel Cabrera’s career. What were you doing on Friday, June 20, 2003? George W. 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.

The Miguel Cabrera era concludes with his usual good timing

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. On the final day of Miguel Cabrera’s storied career, his Detroit Tigers are finally in a much better place as the 2023 season comes to an end. It took a lot longer than anyone hoped, but as Cabrera departs for a well earned retirement, he can also take with him the sense that the organization is in good hands once again. The timing all feels right. An era is ending just as a new...

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. After unveiling the outfield tribute to Cabrera, the game got underway, a Tigers’ bullpen outing against Triston McKenzie. Will Vest opened things up and allowed a two-out double to Josh Naylor, but the Guardians couldn’t get him home. In the Tigers’ half...

Guardians 7, Tigers 5: Miggy delivers 3 hits in Act 1 of MLB farewell

Photo by Gregory Shamus/ What Wentz wrong on Miggy’s big day? The final series of Miguel Cabrera’s career is here, and the surefire Hall of Famer is winding back the clock like it’s 2013. Miggy delivered three hits in the first act of his farewell in Detroit as the Tigers fell to the Cleveland Guardians, 7-5. In his first at-bat of the evening, Miguel Cabrera doubled to the left field wall. Despite putting a no-doubt double in play, Miggy made it close, sliding in just under the tag at second base with a smile on his face. That double put Cabrera in sole...

Well, Tigers fans, the end of the 2023 Major League Baseball regular season is nearly nigh as the Tigers wrap up yet another campaign without a postseason appearance.
