It was great to see Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tiger Legend, get honored over this final weekend of his fabulous career. What I especially liked about him was that he always played the game with the joy of a kid on a little league team -- always smiling, always cheerful, and always having fun.

For today's final game, a sellout like yesterday's, fans were given cards turning the whole stadium into a tribute before the start of play.

After his last at bat [a walk] he was inserted to play first base the following inning. As the ball always seems to find a new player, he had a sharp ground ball hit to him, fielded it perfectly, and raced to first base for the out.

Then the manager with Miggie's kids came out to take him out of the game allowing the game to be delayed, the fans cheer him off, as the whole team came out to greet him. And then he marched off into history. Behind him the Hudson Site building rises reminding me how much has changed for the better in downtown Detroit over his years. So long Miggie.
