Miguel Cabrera is on the verge of an incredible mark in the Major Leagues. The Venezuelan star of the Detroit Tigers unleashed all his power this Wednesday to hit the 12th homer of this season and 499 for his life, placing just one of the 500 home runs.
The Venezuelan first baseman had a good day with the tree at 4-3, including the homer he hit in the fifth inning off the pitches of Baltimore Orioles starter Matt Harvey, which puts him very close to becoming just the 28th player in MLB history to hit 500 home runs.
The Venezuelan slugger continues to make his mark in Major League Baseball, where he continues to add numbers that make him a strong candidate to be considered to enter the Cooperstown Hall of Fame once his career ends, with what would become in an immortal of American baseball.
Closer to 3,000 hits
With his good offensive night, Miguel Cabrera not only took another step towards reaching 500 career home runs in the Major Leagues. The Venezuelan slugger also continued to approach another mark: 3,000 hits in his MLB career. The Bengali ninth star is 50 hits away.
With his three hits this Wednesday, Miggy reached 2,950 for life, remaining 35th among the historical leaders of the Major Leagues in that department. The Maracay-born man is now 11 unscathed from matching Sam Crawford for 34th on the list (2,961). (Bolavip)
