Miguel Cabrera's final play, standing ovation

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.
