Take a bow, Miggy. You deserve it.

Welcome to the big leagues!

It took Miguel Cabrera just 11 innings to introduce himself to the Florida Marlins fans in a big way. His first career home run, a walk-off home run in extras, came during his Major League debut on June 20, 2003.

On Sunday, during his 19th season, the future Hall of Famer added another impressive accomplishment to his extraordinary career: his 500th career home run. Cabrera may have had his best years with the Detroit Tigers, but his only World Series ring came with the 2003 Florida Marlins.
