DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – In front of 44,650 fans and Miguel Cabrera’s last home opener of his career, Detroit fell short of a win, 6-3, to Boston. It was a special season opener as Hall of Famers Nicklas Lidstrom (Red Wings), Calvin Johnson (Lions), and Ben Wallace (Pistons) all threw out the first pitch.
Cabrera said, “I’m happy with this moment. I’m not sad. I’m happy because it’s been a good 21 years in the big leagues. I never take anything for granted. I’m going to enjoy this year, and when they give me a chance to play, hopefully I can do my job.”
