Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera makes history with 500th home run

Miguel Cabrera became the 28th player in major league history to hit 500 home runs Sunday, taking Toronto Blue Jays left-handed starter Steven Matz deep to right-center field in the sixth inning at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The 38-year-old can add the accolade to being a Triple Crown winner, two-time MVP, World Series champion, 11-time All-Star, captain of the Detroit Tigers and "one of the greatest of all time," according to Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani.

"He's a future Hall of Famer," Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman said.
