Miguel Cabrera continues to write pages in his legendary career in the Big Top, where on May 7 he hit two hits to register a total of 3,100 hits in 20 years in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Since Cabrera stepped foot in the Missouri city on Sunday the 7th, in San Luis, he was received with respect and admiration by his rivals.
The St. Louis Cardinals paid tribute to Tigre Mayor before the game and presented the Miguel Cabrera Foundation with a check for $3,500, along with a framed photo of Miggy hitting his 400th home run.
The Maracay slugger has been honored this year by five teams, which have recognized Cabrera’s brilliant career in the MLB.

In the top part of the fourth inning came the hit number 3099, when he hit the ball thrown by pitcher Steven Matz squarely when the score was 3-0 in favor of the Cardinals.
In the sixth inning Miguel Cabrera stood in the batter’s box with his team trailing three to one. Detroit needed to react quickly in order to continue with a chance to come back from the game.
A hit for history
There were two out and two runners on, Cabrera had a ball and a strike when he hit the ball with the crossbar to draw a straight line to center field.
Despite being a visitor, cheers and shouts of joy for Cabrera were heard from the stands. Even fans dressed in Cardinals colors recognized the Venezuelan’s record.
With that unstoppable, the maracayero propelled the second score for his club and reached 3,100 hits in his career. The Older Tiger also reached 1,851 RBI that night and was nine behind New York Giants legend Mel Ott.
Cabrera currently ranks 23rd among all-time MLB hit leaders. He’s just 10 more away from catching up with Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, and 15 from New York Yankees icon; Alex Rodriguez.
This season, the man from Maracay averages a .200 average, has scored one run and has driven in four.
