Tigers fans gave Miguel Cabrera a fantastic standing ovation ahead of his MLB retirement

It’s the final week of MLB legend Miguel Cabrera’s storied career, and Detroit Tigers fans gave him a hero’s welcome as he embarks on his closing stretch at Comerica Park.

As Cabrera stepped up to the plate in his team’s Tuesday night tilt with the Kansas City Royals, Detroit fans gave him a standing ovation to recognize all that he’s meant to the franchise since arriving in 2008.

He’s a franchise legend for the Tigers, and this is how you welcome a franchise legend home before he begins his well-earned retirement.

Kudos to all the fans at Comerica Park for ringing in this special moment for Cabrera.

This is exactly what you want to see for Cabrera as he continues with his final week in the MLB.

He should get all of his flowers, and he’ll certainly have a grand farewell in the Tigers’ last game against the Cleveland Guardians in Detroit on Sunday.
