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.
