Miguel Cabrera is all set to hang up his boots at the end of the 2023 season. His career in the MLB spanned two decades, representing two teams, the Detroit Tigers and the Miami Marlins. In the recent game at Comerica Park, Miguel Cabrera shared a wholesome moment with his parents as they threw the inaugural pitch toward Miggy.

The Detroit Tigers' second-to-last game of the season at Comerica Park caused a 33-minute delay in the start of Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians due to an on-field celebration. Dan Dickerson, the Tigers' radio announcer, welcomed Miguel Cabrera on the field to kick off the pregame ritual.
