WATCH: Miami Marlins fans say a warm goodbye to Miguel Cabrera 

Miguel Cabrera, the slugging first baseman, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after an illustrious 20-year career. Cabrera achieved unprecedented success in the league, becoming a perennial All-Star and feared hitter among his opponents.

Despite the fact that his final season with the Detroit Tigers was not as productive as some of his previous seasons, Cabrera's impact on the sport cannot be denied. His respect and reputation in the league remain untarnished despite his struggles with declining performance, making the struggling Tigers team deserving of attention.

Here's how fans said their final goodbyes to Miguel Cabrera, one of the Greatest of All Time.

Cabrera leaves behind an impressive legacy that will almost certainly earn him a well-deserved spot in the National Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible.

His best season came in 2012 when he won the coveted Triple Crown, which has eluded players ever since. This incredible season saw him set career highs in hits, home runs, RBIs, and batting average, firmly establishing him as one of the best players of his generation.

As Cabrera embarks on a farewell tour, much like fellow legend Albert Pujols, baseball fans around the world will be able to commemorate the remarkable career of a player who has left an indelible mark on the sport he adores.

Congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on an incredible career, and we look forward to seeing him inducted into the Hall of Fame.
