Miguel Cabrera MLB The Show 21 Player Program Honors Tigers Star Joining 500 Home Run Club
Miguel Cabrera is the newest member of baseball’s famous 500 home run club! The Detroit Tigers connected on the 500th home run of his career during a game on Sunday, August 22, against the Toronto Blue Jays. In honor of the achievement, a Miguel Cabrera MLB The Show 21 Player Program has arrived for gamers. Here’s the breakdown of what’s available in The Show to celebrate Miggy’s feat.
Tigers star hits 500th home run of his career
On Sunday evening, MLB The Show let fans know that new content would arrive soon for Miguel Cabrera’s career accomplishment. Based on their teaser tweet (below), they hinted at gamers being able to “relive the greatest #Miggy moments” which led to his 500th home run. That would seem to indicate a Player Program with a potential Diamond card available as the reward.
Per ESPN’s report, Cabrera’s 500th shot came in the sixth inning in a 5-3 Tigers win against the Blue Jays. Once he’d achieved the career feat, he received a standing ovation from the fans at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
Cabrera is easily on pace to be a future Hall of Fame inductee, with the 500th home run another feat in his impressive career. He’s an 11-time All-Star, won the batting title four times, is a two-time MVP, and Triple Crown player. In addition to that, he was a World Series winner with the Marlins in 2003.
While he spent the first five seasons of his career as a Marlin, he’s been a member of the Detroit Tigers since 2008, and looks like he’ll probably finish his career there. Cabrera is currently 38 and due to become a free agent in 2024, if he chooses to keep playing.
