For additional context, Miggy in 2012 was the first triple crown winner since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Monster year.

Favorite player of all time. 3k hits, 500 hrs, 600 doubles... One of three to do it. Always had fun, was just a joy to watch his career.

LMAOOOOO I'm cracking up with you lads! Honestly if Cabrera had stayed healthy I think he could have hit 3000 home runs 🤣🤣🤣

Miggy was a great player but my favorite highlights are his fan interactions. Just a fun loving guy who really appreciated the fans.

Marlins and Tigers legend! His longevity, consistency, and skill don’t pop off the screen to the average fan but he’s one of the best of this generation

Nobody doesn't love Miggy. A great ambassador of the game

WARNING: His early highlights in the 2003 playoffs might trigger traumatic experiences for Cubs fans.

This guy might have the greatest hand eye coordination this world has seen, and pitch recognition. Ill never forget the way he purposely fouled off balls until he got a good one

12:05 I needed that today 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not a Detroit fan but Miggy is a good guy and well respected around the league. He'll be missed.

Grew up in Detroit, and love this channel but I never would’ve thought I would hear Dan Dickerson and Jim Price on here (Long time Tigers radio announcers). Worth the watch just for that! Intro was great too 😂

Miggy was always known having fun while playing, there are lots of great clips of goofy moments where he is messing around with other players, fans or just acting like a kid playing the best game ever. Got to watch him as a Tiger fan for more than half my life, definitely one of the best right handed hitters to ever do it. Only 3 players ever to hit 500+ hr(would have had more if he didn't play at Comerica park lol), 3000+ hits, 300+ career avg - Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Miguel Cabrera (also 600+ doubles). 12-time All-Star, a four-time batting champion and a two-time MVP, in addition to the Triple Crown winner. Gracias Miggy!

Great reaction, lads. Im in stitches with this one. As a Marlins fan, I was really pissed and sad when the Marlins traded Miggy. We had him for his first 5 years.. I loved watching him play, he is a great guy, and he was big for our 2003 title team, even though he was rookie. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford to keep him cause our ownership was cheap back then. We were constantly trading our young stars for prospects. Being a Marlins fans hasn’t been easy. Then they wonder why attendance numbers stink. We won the title in 97 and the next year, we traded almost every player making money on the roster. SAD. It looks like things are changing. Hope they sustain spending some money.

….hes one of those dudes that you cant help but like him. What a player, congrats on your career and first ballot HOFer

Great choice for reaction! Did you know that out of all the MLB players ever, only Hank Aaron, Willie Mays & now Miguel Cabrera have finished their careers with lifetime batting averages over 300, over 500 Home runs & over 3000 hits. AMAZING!

Just to put into perspective how great Miguel Cabrera is and how long and accomplished his career is, he started playing as a rookie for the Marlins before my twin and I were born. My twin sister is now a college student. Truly an icon that has blessed several generations.

I do recommend finding Miguel Cabrerra funny moments videos. The man just carries joy every moment.

glad you guys are checking miggy out. my favorite player of all time, guy i modeled my swing after as a kid. hadn’t seen a lot of attention towards him the last several years as injuries caused a disappointing end to his career. at his best he was one of the best all around right handed hitters ever. also had more fun playing than almost anyone

9:36 the pitcher that Miggy hit the home run against is Mariano Rivera - the greatest closer of all-time and the only player to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame unanimously. Also, only three players in MLB history have 500 HRs, 3000 hits, and a .300 batting average for their career: Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Miguel Cabrera.

As a monster Tigers fan I seriously appreciate you guys doing this one. Miggy is an all time legend and a HOFer, one of the most feared right handed hitters of all time. For 7-8 years, he displayed utter dominance driving in runs and played with youthful energy. We had some good teams and great players but never won a WS despite making it there in ‘06 & ‘12. The AB where he fouled off those pitches against his knee were against Mariano Rivera aka “the Sandman”….he had ice in his veins and arguably the best hands paired with uncanny vision. His pitch recognition is legendary. Tailed off at the end…but he is still THE 🐅👑. Also appreciate you blokes laughing , it happens to me all the time 😂. Keep it up !

Great effort lads. I love your interactions and its fun to see your honest reactions when you laugh. It is genuine and I can watch that all day. Hoping to see someone hit 3K HR 😅

When Cabrera won the triple crown in 2012 the last player to do it had been Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Also, Trout was the first rookie to finish second in MVP voting, but that's a tad misleading because two rookies finished first--Fred Lynn and Ichiro (who was, of course, coming from pro-ball in Japan).

His knee was so bad he didn't play the field for like 2 years. In his last game, after everyone thought he was done after his at-bats, they put him at first base for one play, and he made an unassisted out, and that was his final appearance. It was pretty magical.

Miggy has definitely impacted venezuelan baseball, the presumptive NL MVP, Ronald Acuña, has said repeatedly throughout his career, and especially at the WBC this year when they got to play together, that Miggy was his biggest role model growing up and that getting to play with and against him and have miggy crown him as the next Venezuelan hitter on his level has been huge for him. Miggy is a legend, one of the greatest hitters of all time.

to help you out with you blindspot on Venezuelan Born Baseball players, here are some guys from Venezuela that are also notable in MLB history- Luis Aparicio (1st ever Venezuelan to be inducted into the HOF) Andres Galarraga (it's just a fun name to say LUL- nah but he was also really good) Magglio Ordonez (his walk-off HR in the 2006 ALCS sent the Tigers to the World Series, before Miggy got there) "King" Felix Hernandez (Ask your Discord Seattle fans, they can talk all day bout this guy- but he definitely earned his nickname) Johan Santana (Actually got a Pitching Triple Crown himself in 2006- Wins, ERA, Strikeouts) Omar Vizquel (not that great with the bat, but is one of the best Defensive Shortstops of All-Time) Dave Concepción (Was apart of the Cincinnati Reds for all of his 18-year career including his partner in the Middle-Infield Joe Morgan while winning 2 WS as the 70s Reds were known as "The Big Red Machine") Francisco Rodriguez (The Angel Fan in me was inspired by his nasty Slider)

Miguel was traded to Detroit bc the Marlins were pretty much the minors for the rest of the MLB. We couldn't afford our best players

There are 28 MLB players who have hit 500 or more career homeruns, 33 that have reached 3000 hits. Of those that have done both, only Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Miguel Cabrera have lifetime batting averages of over .300, and Miggy has the highest of the 3 at .306.

Nick and Damo did you see who was punching Miguel in the belly oh damo 😂

Were you guys buzzed?? LOL

He hammered us for years in Kansas City but he was such a good guy we still clapped for him.

Like all young rising-star players for the Marlins who would be too expensive for them to re-sign, he was traded for a haul of prospects to the Tigers along with Dontrelle Willis after the 2007 season. Right before the 2008 season, he signed an eight-year, $152.3 million contract extension; the largest every for a Tiger at that point. He played the rest of his career in Detroit.

Ohh hell yeah, that Detroit content I love from Father Damo! Also, my dad was born in 1948, and he grew up watching all the greats, Mickey Mantle, Willy Mays, Hank Arron - he actually had a chance to play double A ball, but back in the 60’s he actually made more money as a factory worker. Also he knew he wasn’t actually good enough to make it to the big leagues. Basically the point I’m making is that he definitely knew baseball as well as someone can, and he said that Miggy was easily the best right-handed hitter he’s ever seen in his life. And I believe him. It’s too bad he couldn’t play until he was 80, he may have had a shot at 2,000 home runs. Ha you crazy bastards

you guys just watched snapshots of a 1st ballot hof fame player in 5 years when he’s eligible you will see this guy indicted in Cooperstown. When he came up with the Marlins as a Phillies fan i rooted against because of a division rival but he’s is on of the greatest to play since his debut in 2003

Comments have caught you up on the Triple Crown and how rare that is, but what's even crazier is he would have won back to back triple crowns in 2012 and 2013 except Chris Davis on the Orioles barely beat him on HRs and it was found out later that Davis was using steroids that season. Would have cemented his legacy as an all time great, but despite that Cabrera is still one of the greatest right handed hitters ever and probably the guy who had more fun than anybody else playing baseball. Absolute legend

I live in Detroit, the Tigers traded for Miggy when I was 16 years old, he is hands down the greatest hitter I've ever seen and I can't believe I had the pleasure to watch him play Major League Baseball for 15 seasons in my hometown. He is an icon here!

Miguel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson are the four horsemen of my shitty sports team apocalypse 😅😂

Im sure theres a compilation video out there, but he was very well known as being a jokster and interacring with fans. He came into the league so damn you he knew throughout his career what his competitors and fans alike brought him to greatness.

If I'm being honest, I think Trout deserved both of Miggy's MVPs, that said, he's absolutely a monster hitter, and a shoe in hall of famer. One of the best hitters to ever do it.

Lifelong Rangers fan here. In his prime, Cabrera was the most feared hitter in baseball and the greatest player I’ve ever seen in person. He was unlucky to only win one championship. His tigers teams ran into the 2009 yankees (world champs) and my rangers in 2011 (American League champs). Class act off the field as well, what a player!

To give you context on why numbers matters in Baseball, generally the rule of thumb in MLB is if you hit these milestones- you're virtually guaranteed to make the Hall-Of-Fame: 500 Home Runs 3000 Hits 300 Wins (Pitching Decisions) 3000 Strikeouts There are other stats people will bring up but these are the ones that have been touted as the standard for 1st Ballot Election for the longest time. As time goes on, the 300 career wins is probably going to be the most unlikely to see again.

Hes one of those guys that now he's gone and the league feels different. Im convinced he had the most fun out of everyone he played with. Yall should check out Adrian Beltre too. Weird career, but he had some moments.

Was hoping it’d be a compilation of all his goofy moments, he was hilarious

If you weren't aware of Miggy it's probably because it's been awhile since the Tigers had contending teams and it's been awhile since Miggy was one of the league's best hitters.

You guys should check out Albert Pujols he retired last year and he's the only player of this generation who was better than Miggy

Hes such an inspiration. amazing hitter and always had a smile

25 year old Ronald Acuna is about to win anothet MVP for Venezuela. He often calls Miggy his favorite player of all time and his hero!

From 2006 - 2015 us Tigers fans got to watch a TON of great baseball.. it's a shame we didn't win the big one during Miggy's time in Detroit.

Miggy is staying with the Tigers and will work in their front office.

You'd be surprised of just how many MLB academies & training facilities there is in Venezuela, Panama, Mexico but Puerto Rico & Dominican Republic is full of baseball training facilities, almost every MLB team has their own academy.

He might be the best hitter of all times. Sucks that he spend the majority of his career in Detroit.

Thank you Miggy, Go Tigers ❤️

That's Mr.Cabrera!,we share a birthday (4/18),😉

"And it's a homer!,that's 3,000!😅

The Tigers have 3 players that have hit more than 3k, Al Kaline: 3007, Miggy: 3,174 and Ty Cobb: 4191.

Here's a list of *active home run leaders.* With Miggy retired, Nelson Cruz possibly retiring and Stanton declining, there's nobody near 500 home runs. It might be four or five years until the next player (Trout?) reaches 500. 1. Miguel Cabrera (21, 40) 511 11796 R HR Log 2. Nelson Cruz (19, 42) 464 8396 R HR Log 3. Giancarlo Stanton (14, 33) 402 6437 R HR Log 4. Mike Trout (13, 31) 368 6521 R HR Log 5. Joey Votto (17, 39) 356 8746 L HR Log 6. Evan Longoria (16, 37) 342 8206 R HR Log 7. Paul Goldschmidt (13, 35) 340 7638 R HR Log 8. Nolan Arenado (11, 32) 325 6443 R HR Log 9. Freddie Freeman (14, 33) 321 8098 L HR Log 10. J.D. Martinez (13, 35) 315 6370 R HR Log 11. Manny Machado (12, 30) 313 6874 R HR Log 12. Bryce Harper (12, 30) 306 6454 L HR Log 13. Carlos Santana (14, 37) 301 8186 B HR Log 14. Andrew McCutchen (15, 36) 299 8641 R HR Log 15. Anthony Rizzo (13, 33) 295 6961 L HR Log 16. Josh Donaldson (13, 37) 279 5856 R HR Log 17. José Abreu (10, 36) 261 6100 R HR Log 18. Aaron Judge (8, 31) 257 3619 R HR Log 19. Mookie Betts (10, 30) 252 5757 R HR Log 20. Salvador Perez (12, 33) 246 5611 R HR Log Kyle Schwarber (9, 30) 246 3968 L HR Log Eugenio Suárez (10, 31) 246 5330 R HR Log

3,000 homers would be mental, and even that’s an understatement

Mig never forgot it was a game ✌️

2k home runs?! 😂😂

mi-GELL...hard G, silent U, accent on the second syllable.

I’ve been a Detroit Tigers fan for all my life, since the early ’80s, and since they last won the World Series championship back in 1984, Miguel was one of the best things to ever happen to us since. If he’s not voted into the MLB HoF in 5 or 6 years, whenever his first year of eligibility is, on the first ballot, then *nobody* else deserves in. Also, the Tigers organization should not for the next 5-6 years give anyone else uniform #24, and instead retire it in Miggy’s honor as soon as it’s allowed. He more than earned it.

The piece on his shin is a guard

Cabrera played 10 years for the Marlins before they traded him. On December 5, 2007, the Marlins traded Cabrera and starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for pitchers Andrew Miller, Dallas Trahern, Eulogio De La Cruz and Burke Badenhop, outfielder Cameron Maybin and catcher Mike Rabelo. The Marlins have a history of development of good player then trading them away

There's a good amount of Venezuelan players in the major leagues. Whenever there's a World Baseball Classic, their national team is pretty competitive.

You guys ok? You got those giggles that have been known to come along after smoking the stickiest of the sticky icky....

You guys getting flustered during the video intros, it's expected, and it works! I might be disappointed otherwise.😅

Good Ball

It's Ma-GELL, not Ma-GWEL. The "u" is silent in Maguel.

"Wonder why he went form the Marlins to the Tigers." Because the Marlins are cheap bastards, lol.

Look at his triple crown season specifically

I miss Jim Leyland- All Tigers Fans and Marlboro Fans

Hey you okay Damo because you made me die laughing when you died laughing 💯 going to hit 3000 Homers

Your reaction was a Brit funny🤣 Any chance you might react to some of the best sports films of all time? Slap Shot, Major League, or the Longest Yard perhaps?

The way he pronounced MiGs first name right when it started… 🤦‍♂️🤣🤷‍♂️

Watch the background and claim to fame of iciru zazuki. Just a very good batter. Not a home run guy. They way he just 😂 swings the bat is awsome to watch.

i hope this doesn't sound like an offensive stereotype, but if you guys are into cricket and ever wanted to explain the rules, nuances, and strategy, i for one would watch it.

😂😂😂😂😂

Miggs one of my fave players. Remember when he started w the Marlins and helped us defeat the Evil Empire NY Yankees! U didn't mention anything about the crowd in the first clip. Marlins shared stadium w the Dolphins and avereaged about 1500 fans a night 😂 Miami fans r the worst lol

"Migwell". Gotta love the way Brits butcher Spanish pronunciation. Ever heard one mangle paella? To be fair, they do pronounce French and German words far more accurately than most of us Yanks.

Do Hank Aaron

Hank Aaron is the all time leader in homer runs, Barry Bonds doesn't count

Albert Pujols was better! 700 homers and the day he did it was legendary. Gold gloves. Great base runner for a slow guy. Stole bases some.

pujols#1 miggy is number 2.

It would be funny if you guys watched 2 videos on the person who's hit the most Home Runs All-Time (*) and didn't realize his mark is 762 and not anywhere near 2000🤣

It's crazy to me that Miggy wins the Triple Crown yet 6 writers voted for Trout for MVP because of mental gymnastics.
