Miguel Cabrera has owned Cleveland’s pitching staff during his career. The Guardians presented the Detroit slugger with a guitar as a retirement gift before his final game at Progressive Field on Sunday in which he batted cleanup for only the second time this season.
Cabrera is batting .308 with 50 homers and 176 RBIs in 248 career games against Cleveland. He’s hitting .297 with 26 homers and 89 RBIs in 126 games at Progressive Field.
“I’ve lost a lot of sleep due to Miguel Cabrera,” Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Sunday. “It’s always uncomfortable knowing he’s lurking there in the lineup. You’re always cognizant when his time at bat is going to come up.” Cabrera’s final game in Cleveland came the day after Manny Ramirez was inducted into the Guardians’ Hall of Fame.
“We were fortunate to have two of the best right-handed hitters of this generation in the ballpark the last couple of days,” Antonetti said.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
