THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.

Today, we center the discussion on Miguel Cabrera and the significance of his eventual 500th career home run.

As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

Miguel Cabrera currently sits at 499 home runs. Just one short of the magical 500.

When he hits the next one, he will rank #28 in all of MLB in the 500 Home Run Club. He will also lay claim to being the only Tiger with that many. Currently, he has 100 more HRs than Al Kaline who sits in second place.

How significant is Miggy?s eventual achievement to you as a fan of baseball and also of the Detroit Tigers?

How significant will Miggy?s next HR be to you as a baseball fan and a Tiger fan?

1. Moderately to extremely significant.

2. Somewhat significant.

3. Not very to not at all significant.

VOTE
 
Miguel Cabrera is now 73-for-191 (.382) in his career with the bases loaded.
He sticks with the 6th best bases-loaded batting average ever (min 150 PA), but he moves into a tie for 6th with 20 bases-loaded doubles, and he now has exactly 200 RBI with the bases loaded.
 
Miggy did it, Home Run # 500!!!!!

Miguel Cabrera's 500th career HR.
Miguel Cabrera smacks his 500th career home run to right-center field, a solo home run off of Steven Matz ties the game in the 6th.

27 players in history have hit 500 home runs.

32 players in history have had 3,000 hits.

Only 6 have done BOTH.

Miguel Cabrera could be the last player we ever see to accomplish both of these things. Enjoy watching this unfold.

500-HR CLUB, AVG AS HIGH AS MIGGY
Ted Williams .344
Babe Ruth .342
Jimmie Foxx .325
Manny Ramirez .312
Miguel Cabrera .311

This would have been a home run in 28/30 MLB ballparks.

Miguel Cabrera has gone 8 straight games without a HR since hitting No. 499 on August 11.
The most games between a player's 499th and 500th home run is 15 (Jimmie Foxx).

Almost 20,000 players have played Major League Baseball.
27 players have hit 500 career Home Runs.
Miguel Cabrera just became the 28th.

How unusual is Miguel Cabrera in a time of all-or-nothing sluggers? His seven-season stretch from 2009 to 2015, when he hit .332 in just under 4,000 at-bats, and hit 233 homers, seems like a work of fiction.

From Torii, Nick, JV, Gardy, Leyland and all of your teammates:
Congrats Miggy!

Yes Sir My Man, It's been a lot of Fun helping You with this Thread.

It would be Awesome if Miggy could do the 3,000 Hits before the end of the year.

You know, While watching this 500th home run it brought a couple of tears to my eyes that Kaline wasn't here to Congratulate Miggy.
He always said that Miggy was the Best Hitter the Tigers have ever had since he was with them back in 1953. sigh...

He?s congratulating him from above ear to ear I?ll bet, and as it stands now miggy is only 52 hits away from catching Al at 31 all time that would be really cool if he ended the season right there at 3007.
