Dodgers broadcaster shares great story about Miguel Cabrera seconds before his first homer of season

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis shared a classic Miguel Cabrera story this weekend, seconds before the Detroit Tigers star blasted his first home run of the season.

Davis, the play-by-play announcer for SportsNet Los Angeles, shared the story during Cabrera’s final at-bat in the top of the eighth inning Sunday. The two teams were playing the rubber match of a three-game series, and Cabrera came to the plate with Javier Baez on second base and the Tigers trailing 6-0.

Here’s the full story from Davis:

Exactly seven seconds after Davis finished his story, Cabrera obliterated a 1-2 hanging slider from reliever Phil Bickford into the left-center field bleachers.

The Tigers still lost the game, but that was an entertaining moment to cap off an otherwise difficult road trip.
