The Venezuelan Miguel Cabrera, emblem of the Detroit Tigers, hit his 3.011th career single in the Major Leagues (MLB) on Wednesday night.
With his 24 hits of 2022, Miggy left behind the mark of the legendary Wade Boggs, a member of the Hall of Fame, who in 18 years in the MLB shook 3.010 hits.
At the bottom of the 4th. entrance, "El Tigre Mayor" gave this new historic single to center field off Zach Logue, left-handed starter for the Oakland Athletics.
