Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera honored with special spot in All-Star Game; 'It means a lot'

CHICAGO — Eight years ago, Miguel Cabrera turned on an inside fastball from Adam Wainwright in the first inning at Target Field. He lined the pitch over the left-field wall and into the stands.

The two-run home run sent Cabrera jogging around the bases. He drove in Mike Trout and gave the American League a 3-0 lead over the National League in the 2014 All-Star Game.

The homer off Wainwright is Cabrera's favorite All-Star memory.
