History was made on Sunday afternoon, as Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera became the 28th player in MLB history to blast 500 career home runs.
Tonight marks the first home game back at Comerica Park for Detroit since Cabrera achieved the milestone, and during the 1st inning, the team honored their future Hall of Famer with a special video highlight tribute. Additionally, Cabrera’s family updated the milestone tracker atop the brick wall in left field near the statues of other Tigers greats:
