[Miguel] Cabrera produced the 17th Triple Crown in history, with the first in 1878. He joined Ty Cobb as the only Tigers to win it. Cobb won the Triple Crown in the Dead Ball Era in 1909 when he hit nine homers — all inside-the-park, according to Baseball-Reference.com.
Cabrera became virtually assured of the Triple Crown when Josh Hamilton, his closest pursuer in the home-run race, went homerless Wednesday afternoon in Texas’ meltdown loss to Oakland.
He won the RBI title with 139; Hamilton was second at 128.
As the priest at the parish next to the Tigers Comerica Park we are grateful for Miguel’s talents!!!
