Why Miguel Cabrera is buzzed by playing first base, seeing fans in the stands

The combination of heavy snow, rough wind and a 32-degree temperature made Comerica Park look like a snow globe during Thursday's 3-2 win on Opening Day. Considering the weather, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch didn't think anyone would hit a home run.

Cleveland Indians ace Shane Bieber has faced the 37-year-old veteran before. The reigning American League Cy Young winner knows one mistake can be gutting. After throwing two pitches inside, he went up and away with a 93 mph fastball.

The ex-Triple Crown winner — that's Cabrera, a likely future Hall of Famer — knew he drove the baseball the opposite way to right field, but he didn't know where it landed.
