Tampa Bay Rays at Florida Marlins - June 20, 2003.
----------------------------------
This past weekend, Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera collected his 3,000th career hit. As such, Cabrera is now one of only three players in Major League Baseball history to have a .300 career batting average to go along with 500 home runs and 3,000 hits (Hank Aaron and Willie Mays being the others).
With that in mind, the game I referenced this week is Cabrera's MLB debut with the Marlins. In that game Cabrera collected his first career hit, which was a walk-off 2-run homer. If you watch the video of that hit, you'll see Rays rookie CF Rocco Baldelli (now Twins manager) running in vain toward the center field wall.
