Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to win the Triple Crown in major league baseball on Wednesday night. He led the American League with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs in 2012. His team also won the American League Central Division title for the second straight season. The last person to hit for the Triple Crown was Carl Yastrzemski with the Boston Red Sox in 1967.
Cabrera once played for the Florida Marlins from 2003 until 2007. He won a World Series title with the team back in 2003, his rookie year. He was traded by the Marlins to the Detroit Tigers along with Dontrelle Willis for six players including Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller in December 2007.
