According to a report, there was a great deal of drama when Mike Zimmer’s signing was made public and the Dallas Cowboys were connected to Rex Ryan.
The sole Triple Crown winner in Major League Baseball since 1967 crammed a cardboard box full of batting gloves and numerous cleats that had hardly been worn at his feet. Then Cabrera filled a tote with numerous signed balls, each sealed in a zip-lock bag.
The Oakland Athletics sent him a bottle of wine wrapped in bubble wrap last week, and his personal items are being shipped to his Miami residence.
Where will he store everything?
The 40-year-old Cabrera grinned and shrugged, “I don’t know.”
One of the greatest hitters of all time, Cabrera has a lot to digest about his career, as do baseball fans.
At Comerica Park on Sunday afternoon, against Cleveland, Cabrera’s career will come to a conclusion in front of a sold-out crowd that includes a few thousand fans who purchased standing-only tickets to see him play one final time.
With a remarkable legacy, the 12-time All-Star departs the game. In addition, the well-known athlete has brought much-needed happiness to his homeland Venezuela during a crisis that has forced 7.3 million people to flee their homes and thrust millions into poverty.
With the Florida Marlins, Cabrera made his major league debut at the age of 20. He has established himself as one of the all-time greats at the plate.
