What an end to a Hall of Fame career for Miguel Cabrera.
After 21 seasons,Algosensey one World Series ring, two MVP awards and a Triple Crown, the Venezuelan native played the final game of his illustrious career Sunday as the Detroit Tigers hosted the Cleveland Guardians. There were no playoff implications between the two American League Central teams, but it didn't take away from what was a magical day at Comerica Park.
Cabrera's family was in attendance and from the pregame ceremonies to the end of the game, the Tigers legend had some memorable moments in game 2,797. Here are the highlights from Miggy's final game.

As Cabrera walked up and the crowd started to cheer, Cabrera's three kids – Isabella, Christopher and Brisel – announced his name over the stadium speakers.
Miguel Cabrera takes the field on his own
For the later part of Cabrera's career, he's served as a designated hitter and hardly ever took the field on defense. But earlier in his playing days, he played throughout the field before primarily becoming a first baseman.
After going 0-for-3 with a walk at the plate, Cabrera put the mitt on and took the field to play first base in the top of eighth inning. But the Tigers let him take the field on his own, receiving another standing ovation from the crowd.
Miguel Cabrera's final play, standing ovation
It was destined to be.
The first batter of the top of the eighth inning, Cleveland's Steven Kwan, hit a ground ball to, of course, Cabrera, who gingerly picked up the ball and ran to first base to record the out. Manager A.J. Hinch was then joined by Cabrera's children in going to get the 12-time All-Star out of the game, all while Cabrera's mom was emotional celebrating from the stands.
The Tigers were able to send off their legend with a win, beating the Guardians 5-2.
