Congrats to Miguel Cabrera!

[Peter Parker]

It is not every day that someone wins a Triple Crown! heck it has not happened in 45 years but Miguel Cabrera has done it but it is receiving very little notice---and some of it negative.

I am a lifelong BoSox fan and I even named my dog Yaz after the previous (1967) Triple Crown winner but I still think that Cabrera deserves some praise for this. s:2:

Amazing lack of notice, should get MVP- though no one was as valuable as the Captain was in 67.

He got all sorts of credit on ESPN Radio yesterday. Congrats to Cabrera. He deserves to win the AL MVP.

I remember Yaz getting the last Triple Crown in 1967. Being young, I thought it was commonplace.

congrats! and it brings back great memories from that awesome trade the marlins made when they gave up Cabrera for...... hmmmm i forget the nobodies we got in return. :haha

Glad he is getting some notice but not enough. Oh to be young again, Robinson won in 66 so it was almost commonplace.

Nice they named birth control after Carl.

Yep, the same with Secretariat winning the other Triple Crown.

Although I wasn't born until '63, I recall Norm Cash came pretty darn close with 41HR, 132 RBI and a .361 BA. Of course, a number of players have come close, but without the cigar.

 

[Ramy]

I have heard about him being close for at least a month.

Congrats to a great player.

I think you'll find that Miggy is pumped full of golden sponge cake Twinkie goodness.

I guess that these days we are all skeptical of every achievement in baseball. But these numbers don't seem way out of line in view of his past production and I don't see the usual signs of steroid/HGH abuse. Here's hoping that i don't get my illusions shattered again.

Congrats to Miggy on a great season. Like it's namesake in horse racing, I was starting to wonder if I'd ever see another one (I was all of 1 years old when Yaz won in '67).

I grew up watching Yaz in his "twilight" years, and it was nice to hear that Captain Carl congratulated Cabrera.
