Barring last-ditch appeal, Tigers' Miguel Cabrera must pay ex-mistress $20K/month, supply annual theme-park passes

Miguel Cabrera's child-support lawsuit has reached the bottom of the ninth, and barring a judge's change of heart next week, the Detroit Tigers slugger is going to come out on the losing end.

Cabrera's attorneys will be in court in Orlando on Tuesday, making one last pitch that a judge's ruling last month was out of touch with the needs of the two children Cabrera fathered with a Florida woman.

Last month, Judge Alan S. Apte upheld his final ruling, saying the two children Cabrera fathered with his then-mistress, Belkis Mariela Rodriguez, should have the same "good fortune" and opportunities of Cabrera's three other children, with his wife, Rosangel.
