Detroit — Manager AJ Hinch set the tone for MiggyFest earlier in the week.
“I told Miggy the other day, we’ve really enjoyed this season with the things he’s done,” Hinch said hours before the Tigers celebrated Miguel Cabrera’s milestone season Friday night. “He brought life and energy into our clubhouse and our ballpark. And watching him handle this has been really cool.
“He’s never been selfish about it one day.”
The Tigers threw Cabrera quite a party before the game against the Royals, a celebration of his historic 500th home run, which he hit in Toronto on Aug.
