Detroit Tigers<\/a> living legend Miguel Cabrera had his place in Cooperstown locked up long before recording his 3,000th career hit this past Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in his 20th season in Major League Baseball<\/a>, the 39-year-old is an 11-time All-Star, a seven-time Silver Slugger Award winner, a four-time batting champion, a two-time Hank Aaron Award recipient, a two-time American League home run leader, a two-time American League RBI leader, a two-time AL MVP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, the year he won his first MVP, Cabrera became the first man in four and a half decades to win the Triple Crown, hitting .330 with 44 home runs and 139 runs batted in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let's not forget the Venezuela native won a World Series with the then-Florida Marlins as a 20-year-old rookie in 2003. And that he had an incredible first-inning at-bat against Roger Clemens in Game 4 that resulted in a two-run homer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabrera holds a career slash line of .310\/.387\/.532 and became the newest member of the MLB's prestigious 500 home run club<\/a> last year. And with a first-inning single off Colorado Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela this past Saturday, he's now the newest member of the 3,000 hits club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with that single, Cabrera joined several other highly exclusive MLB clubs, six to be exact. And he also started a new one in which he may never have company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
