00:00 Hitting a baseball is widely accepted as one of the hardest tasks in sports.
00:06 Miguel Cabrera made it look easy.
00:08 Now the likely hall of famer has wrapped up his career.
00:11 He retires as one of seven players who have reached both 3,000 hits and 500 homers.
00:18 At 307, Cabrera has the highest career batting average of that bunch.
00:22 Cabrera steps away with a resume full of accolades.
00:26 He was part of some memorable teams in a great baseball city.
00:29 In Detroit, he played until he was 40.
00:31 By almost any standard, he fulfilled his considerable potential.
00:38 If batting practice were a game of H.R.S.E., Miguel Cabrera would have been tough to beat.
00:43 When Cabrera was in his prime and I was the associated press beat writer for the Detroit
00:47 Tigers.
00:50 Occasionally I'd look over pregame and see him slugging fly balls to different parts
00:54 of Comerica Park like he was trying to complete some sort of circuit.
00:58 The left, left center, center, right center, and so on.
01:04 I don't remember every detail, like whether he preferred to do it clockwise or counter-clockwise
01:10 or if I ever saw him make it around the world with nothing but homers.
01:15 But the memory stands out because it captures what it was like watching Cabrera back then.
01:20 Hitting a baseball widely accepted as one of the hardest tasks in sports seemed almost
01:25 too easy for him.
01:27 Now the likely Hall of Famer has wrapped up his career.
01:31 He retires as one of seven players who have reached both 3,000 hits and 500 homers.
01:38 It's a group that includes some elite company, Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Albert Pugels, Eddie
01:43 Murray, Alex Rodriguez, and Rafael Palmeiro.
01:47 At 307, Cabrera has the highest career batting average of the bunch.
