Miguel Cabrera: Clutch Incarnate

"A swing, and a drive. Down the right field line! It is gone! A home run!" - Rod Allen, Detroit Tigers, FSDET

The sound of fans cheering consumed all else in Comerica Park, on Saturday, August 17th. That's the sound of Miguel Cabrera batting in the 9th inning, and the sound muffling the curses of the visiting team. That's the sound of a walk-off home run hit by arguably the best hitter in baseball, Miguel Cabrera. His stats say it all; .360 batting average (AL leader), 40 home runs (2nd in AL), 119 runs batted in (AL leader), and MLB leading 1.141 ops (On base percent + slugging percent). Unlike power hitters Chris Carter or Chris Davis, there is absolutely no chance of Miguel Cabrera striking out 200 times in a season.
