This baseball was used during the Detroit Tigers game against the Texas Rangers on May 16th, 2013 and was hit by Miguel Cabrera for the 1,861st hit of his Major League career. Cabrera picked up his hit in the top of the third inning, doubling against the game’s eventual winner, Yu Darvish. The Rangers emerged as 10-4 victors from this early season contest. Cabrera finished the 2013 season with almost identical statistics to his Triple Crown winning season the year prior, mashing 44 home runs, with 137 RBI and an MLB-best .348 batting average, giving Cabrera his third consecutive batting title. Cabrera also won his second straight American League MVP trophy in 2013, finishing ahead of the likes of Mike Trout, Chris Davis, and Josh Donaldson.
