Miguel Cabrera hit his 500th home run on Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre stadium in Toronto. He went deep off pitcher, Steven Matz in the sixth inning.  I mention the pitcher’s name in this particular home run because this is a BIG one that will be remembered for all time. Let’s face it, 500 home runs is a major achievement as only twenty-six players have reached that goal.

If you don’t know much about Miguel, here is a bit of his major league achievements. Cabrera’s 14 seasons aren’t all about home runs — there’s also four batting titles, two RBI crowns, back-to-back MVP seasons, a Triple Crown and of course a lot of home runs.

Miguel also won the prestigious AL LatinoMVP in 2009.
