Miguel vs Carl

At the end of last year, would you have ever thought of Carl Yastrzemski when you heard Miguel Cabrera's name. If you answered no, then you are like many American's. Now you might know that Miguel is leading all three of the AL Batting Triple Crown categories (batting average, RBI's, and home runs). He will be the first batter since Yaz to win the infamous award. No offense, but even now I don't really picture him like the Red Sox great. Sure he is facing the good hitters of, Josh Hamilton, Albert Pujols, and Prince Fielder, but he isn't facing the Hall of Fame greats. I mean can you compare Josh Hamilton to Ted Williams, Pujols to Hank Aaron, or Prince to Mickey Mantle. I hope you answered no to all of those, because you have the last batter ever to hit four hundred ( Teddy), the second place career home run hitter (Hank, should be number one), and the 1956 Triple Crown winner (Mickey). Anyway it still is a huge accomplishment for Cabrera, IF he does win the Crown. I guess it is about time for a new reigning TC champion, it has been a long 45 years.
