Retweet of the Day - October 4, 2012

Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera finished the season with a .330 batting average, 44 homeruns, and 139 RBI, leading the American League in all three categories. This has not been accomplished by anyone in either league since 1967. It is truly an historic accomplishment.

Still, Cabrera has some past baggage. In the 2011 offseason, he was pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence. During the traffic stop, he took a swig of Scotch right in front of the patrol officer. Cabrera was arrested.

That leads us to today's retweet, from Bill (‏@fcsfinest1):


"Been a Miguel Cabrera fan ever since he took a swig of scotch in front of deputy during traffic stop. Congrats on Triple Crown (not Royal)."

He's never going to completely live it down.
