Miguel Cabrera takes Shane Bieber deep in the snow for first homer of 2021 (Video)

Miguel Cabrera went yard off AL Cy Young winner Shane Bieber…in the snow no less.

If there were a master class on hitting to all fields, Miguel Cabrera would teach it. Bieber learned this the hard way on Opening Day of the 2021 season, with Cabrera driving a fastball to the opposite field for an early 2-0 Tigers lead against the Cleveland Indians.

The home run was Cabrera’s 350th as a Detroit Tiger, and his 488th total. Miggy joins the great Al Kaline as the only players with over 2,000 hits and 350 home runs as a Tiger.

Because of the snow, Cabrera had a tough time tracking the ball, and even slid into second base, thinking it was a double.

2021 should be a memorable season for Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers

The Tigers rebuild is finally expected to turn a corner in 2021, with A.J. Hinch at the helm. Regardless, however, Cabrera ought to hit a few milestones this year, most notably 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Miggy reportedly showed up to spring training in great shape, a clear change from years past. He has something to prove, and the Tigers need him to deliver in the middle of an otherwise youthful lineup.

In a career full of iconic moments, Cabrera delivered another that Tigers fans in attendance and watching at home won’t even forget.
