KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eric Haase grew up watching Miguel Cabrera.
These days, Haase is getting an inside look at Cabrera's chase for 3,000 hits. He watched his idol track down 500 home runs last season, accomplishing the feat in August at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
"He's just been so consistent and so good for so long," said Haase, who graduated from Dearborn Divine Child in 2011, three years after Cabrera arrived to the Detroit Tigers from the Florida Marlins.
