?Cabrera?s 359 career homers have come off 253 different pitchers, a 1.42 ratio. Willie Mays homered off 265 different pitchers (2.49), Hank Aaron 308 (2.45). Alex Rodriguez has homered against 398 pitchers, a 1.63 ratio.

?Miggy has hit 12 of his 38 HRs on the first pitch, going 38 for 78 on first-pitch settlements.

?24 of his 38 HRs have come with someone on base. With men in scoring position, he?s slugging about .900.

?His OPS against lefties would be among the top 8 ever measured with 100+ PAs that way.

?25 of 38 HRs on the road ? That would be the 9th-highest road ratio out of 417 seasons with 38+ HRs. For what it?s worth, Cabrera?s home/road split last year was 28/16, the 10th-highest home ratio out of 163 seasons with that many total HRs. Add the years together, and guess what: a 41/41 split.
