He led the Tigers to four division titles and an American League pennant. Now a 40-year-old part-time designated hitter, Cabrera is one of three players to compile at least 3,000 hits, 600 doubles and 500 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s an icon, but he\u2019s coming off a season in which he generated little extra-base power, connecting on five homers and 10 doubles in 433 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>During his final Opening Day, Cabrera will bat seventh in the Tigers\u2019 batting order against Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan on Thursday. Cabrera\u2019s time as a middle-order slugger may be passed but Tigers manager AJ Hinch did not diminish Cabrera\u2019s role. His chronic right knee problems will need to be constantly monitored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to learn as much from Miggy as we can while we have him as an active player,\u201d Hinch said, as reported by The Detroit News. \u201cWe also need Miggy to be good. Our best team needs Miggy to perform and produce and do whatever is asked of him. And he\u2019s willing to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Cabrera remains healthy and in uniform for at least one game per series, he can expect a moment of celebration at each visiting ballpark. He\u2019s earned it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to think about retiring after the season,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to go out there and be me and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Classic Cabrera.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s finally Detroit Tigers <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tigers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tigers<\/a> Opening Day today, and I am so absolutely delighted!
