The Venezuelan slugger Miguel Cabrera equaled a curious mark of his compatriot Omar vizquel on the MLB.
On the day of Monday the Detroit Tigers and the Pittsburgh Pirates were measured, where in order not to lose the habit, Miguel Cabrera equaled a curious mark from the winner of eleven gold gloves at the Big Show Omar Vizquel.
Cabrera He was not placed in the challenge lineup and came out as a pinch hitter to consume the game with the game tied 2-2 in the top of the sixth inning, where he got runners in scoring position.
Miggy hit a deep fly to center field to jump-start a run, which put the Bengals up 3-2 against the Buccaneers.
That was how he got his 94th sacrifice fly in the Major League Baseball, matching to Omar Vizquel, as well as Chili Davis, Ron Santo and Jim Rice in that department, ranking 51st for life.
A sacrifice fly implies having the ability to be a timely hitter and thereby bring a run, so it is curious that Miggy the RBI man, precisely equals that mark with Omar vizquel And not for example with Andrés Galarraga, who was the authentic slugger of Venezuela in the 90s.
He also drove in his 1792th career, falling 20 behind Frank Robinson and remaining 21st in the majors.

Miguel He continues with the aspiration of achieving the undisputed three thousand in his great career, since he currently has the amount of 2,964, subtracting 36 hits to achieve the great feat.
On the other hand, he has already managed to enter the select club of 500 home runs and during the season he has been in charge of equaling and surpassing marks of legendary figures such as Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, Alex Rodríguez, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, Frank Thomas, Jim Rice, Barry Bonds, etc.
In the same way, it must be remembered that Miggy has four batting crowns, two awards for the Most Valuable Player of the American League, he was the winner of the Triple Crown of Batting in 2012, when he reached the lead in home runs, RBIs and home runs.
It is inevitable to invoke the home run that the Venezuelan gave Roger Clemens with the Florida Marlins in the 2003 World Series, when the fish defeated the New York Yankees who had Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Jason Giambi, Alfonso Soriano , Andy Pettite, Jorge Posada, Ruben Sierra, Aaron Boone (his current manager).
For all this, I can say that the career of Miguel It is full of achievements, that we have been able to experience as fans of the ball and that without a doubt will take it to the temple of the immortals in Cooperstown.
