Detroit Tigers Newsletter: Welcome to the 7,000 Club, Miguel Cabrera (yes, really)

It’s finally time, after what seemed like months (if not years) of waiting, to congratulate Miguel Cabrera on his momentous achievement — one reached by notable Detroit Tigers such as Ty Cobb, Al Kaline and Rusty Staub.

Yes, that’s right: Cabrera has joined that trio (as well as Johnny Damon, Pudge Rodriguez, but not Gary Sheffield) in the hallowed “7,000-Out Club” (population 55, according to baseball-reference.com).

We weren’t going to mention it — apparently he reached some other milestone on Saturday?
