The Detroit Tigers Miguel Cabrera got his 3,000th hit on Saturday at Comerica Park.

Only 32 MLB players have recorded 3,000 career hits. Cabrera also has 502 career home runs.

With the hit, Cabrera becomes the…
⚾️ The 1st player from Venezuela to get 3,000
⚾️ The 2nd player ever to get his 3,000th hit in April (Cal Ripken, 2000)
⚾️ The 20th player with 3,000 hits & a career .300 batting average
⚾️ The 33rd player all-time with 3,000

What a special moment as Miguel Cabrera gets hit No. 3,000 in front of #Tigers fans, his family and friends! #Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela and catcher Elias Diaz are fellow Venezuelans so it is incredible for them, too. #DetroitRoots@MiguelCabrera pic.twitter.com/Le6UqdQfJZ
