Miguel Cabrera is without a doubt one of the greatest hitters in Major League Baseball history. But that alone does not automatically make him a natural-born leader.

At the end of June, former Detroit Tigers‘ pitcher Jack Morris questioned Cabrera’s lack of leadership.
“You can’t ask a guy to be anything he’s not,” Morris said. “Miggy has always loved the game. He has fun playing the game. That’s who he is.”
On Sunday, following the Tigers loss to the Boston Red Sox, Cabrera fired back at Morris for his comments.
Cabrera "I want to be a leader here, I want to show people like Jack Morris who say well he's not a leader, I say what the f**k are you talking about? You don't know whats going on here"

Cabrera is angry that Morris questioned his leadership "that's wrong, we care, we want to win"

Cabrera on Morris "what he said, it was so wrong, I was like damn, why did he say that?"

Cabrera "I know you guys are hard on me but I don't be mad at you guys" He was really angry about the Morris comments and said he wants to be a good leader.

Cabrera "The way you guys want me to lead is not the way I'm leading" He said hes leading quietly, he doesn't want the media to see it because its personal.

Well, it looks like the ball is in Morris’ court now!
