Minneapolis — You want some fast perspective on the magnitude of Miguel Cabrera’s milestone chase?
“When Jonathan Schoop got his 900th hit the other day (last Wednesday), it’s like, ‘Don’t worry about it, you’re only like 2,000 behind Miggy. Keep working kid,’” manager AJ Hinch said with a chuckle.
Cabrera, who knocked in the game-winning run with an 11th inning single Tuesday night and passed Barry Bonds on the all-time hits list (2,936), has moved into the top 20 all-time in RBIs and total bases during this road trip.
And when he gets back to Comerica Park on Thursday, he will see the countdown to 500 home runs and 3,000 hits in big block letters next to the big scoreboard.
