Miguel Cabrera, a two-time American League MVP and a future Hall of Famer, hit this ball for the 501st double of his career on May 24th, 2016. The Tigers were at home, contesting an interleague game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The AL ballclub won 3-1, with Justin Verlander pitching eight scoreless innings, and Francisco Rodriguez closing out the ninth for the 400th save of his career. Cabrera went 1-4 in this game, knocking in the first of his two RBI with his first inning double against Jeremy Hellickson. This double took Cabrera out of a three-way tie with Goose Goslin and John Olerud on the all-time doubles list. Cabrera finished the 2016 season with a typically outstanding 38 home runs, 108 RBI, and a .316 batting average. This baseball, an Official Major League Robert D. Manfred Jr. baseball, comes with a MLB Authenticated hologram (JB 844584), which dates the use of this baseball to the May 24th game.
