Triple Crown Baby!
Tonight Detroit's own Miguel Cabrera has secured the Triple Crown, making him the first baseball player to win the coveted Triple Crown since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. This win will make Venezuelan born, Cabrera the first ever Latino ball player to win the coveted award.
On this same date in history, October 3, 1919, Cuban baseball player Adolfo Luque, a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, became the first Latin player to appear in a World Series.
While we here in the "D" have been celebrating all week, today is extra special!
Salud y felicidades!
