Fans react to the 3000th of Miguel Cabrera

Miggy scored the 3000th in the first inning itself. As soon as the ball touched his bat, he knew that this was it. His teammates, coaches, staff, and opponent Jose Iglesias, who hugged him and congratulated him on this achievement, surrounded him. Then, his family arrived on the ground, and Miggy ran toward them to share the special moment. Twitter was super delighted as well as fans flocked to the platform as they joined the party.

One fan said, “Miguel Cabrera is probably one of the last greatest hitters we will see…”

“The game has changed too much to where literally most players focus on homers, not actually getting hits, taking what the pitcher gives them. Baseball has really taken a turn for the worst imo,” the fan added.

Another fan had a few words to say about the 3000th. “The best hitter I’m ever going to see. The best Detroit Tiger I might ever see. Miguel Cabrera. I love him, man,” he said.

One fan tweeted, “Former Tiger Jose Iglesias hugging Miguel Cabrera after his 3,000th career hit.”

A fan named said, “I hope everybody understands what they’ve got to watch with Miguel Cabrera on the Tigers. He’s not just a good player, he didn’t just have a super-high peak, he’s had a career that might never be repeated for as long as the game is played.”

Dan Clynick, a Tigers fan, tweeted that this was a glorious day to be a Tigers fan. “It has happened! Miguel Cabrera gets hit #3,000 in his 1st at-bat today! What an absolute legend! Today is such a glorious day to be a Detroit Tigers fan,” said Dan.

One fan tweeted a video of him watching the game at the stadium. He tweeted, “A historic moment I got to witness, hit #3000 for Miguel Cabrera! 3rd player in MLB HISTORY with 500 homers, 3,000 hits, and a .300+ career batting average. I’ll never forget this play!”

Cabrera has set the bar quite high for the upcoming MLB players, as this milestone is tougher than we think it is. He must have slept like a proud baby that night. With an enormous fan base like this, Cabrera has gained fans from other clubs as well.
