KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals honored Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera before the final game of his career at Kauffman Stadium with a $10,000 check to his charitable foundation and a framed collection of pictures from when he clinched his 2012 Triple Crown.
Cabrera thanked the Royals with another clutch hit.
The 40-year-old delivered the go-ahead single to cap a two-run sixth inning in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Royals. Cabrera, who isn't expected to play in Thursday's series finale, will finish his legendary 21-year MLB career with 138 hits at Kauffman Stadium.
