Detroit — Had the Tigers been doing Monday what they once did regularly during October — competing in the playoffs — Miguel Cabrera says he'd have been ready to crush a pitch.
"But they don't want to push me," the Tigers slugger said as he appeared at the Corner Ballpark, where a few hundred baseball-playing kids had gathered the past two days as part of the "Miggy Ball" facet of The Miguel Cabrera Foundation's charity efforts.
Cabrera flew to Detroit this weekend from Miami, where he has been healing since June's surgery to mend a ruptured left biceps muscle.
