Miguel Cabrera won the vote of his peers and baseball writers last month. Now, he has the vote of the fans, pulling off the sweep.

Not only did Cabrera earn the honor as MLB's Hitter of the Year with this year's Greatness in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) Awards, he took the MLB MVP award over Angels rookie sensation Mike Trout and National League MVP Buster Posey.

It was a fitting tribute for a player who not only won the first batting Triple Crown in 45 years, but for a hitter in his prime providing the bulk of his team's offense during the Tigers' September run to their second straight American League Central title -- then helping Detroit all the way to the World Series.

This webvideo makes me so proud of our Tigers and the Best, Smartest Hitter for 'Power and Average' I've ever seen wearing the Old English D.
(with all due respect to Kaline).

Somehow I thought this was about Miggy and Kirk Gibson.

Though I find it funny there was all this talk about Trout and Miggy so close and yet Mggy gets the votes from everyone. Sweet.
