Miguel Cabrera ejected for arguing a blatant missed call by umpires
Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera is one of the most kind-hearted players in all of baseball. He's constantly trying to give people hugs, even if they don't care for one. Because of his fun-loving personality, Cabrera doesn't often get into altercations on the diamond, but he did on Tuesday night against the Cleveland Indians, and for good reason.
In the top of the sixth inning, Cabrera clearly fouled a pitch off of his shin. The ball rolled fair as the third baseman scooped it up, fired to second, where the second baseman then threw to first for the out because, well, Cabrera wasn't running. Why? Because he hit the ball off of his leg ... which means it's foul.
The umpires would discuss the non-reviewable play, but that did nothing to correct it. Cabrera was still ruled out, which is when he lost it. He was tossed from the game shortly after the call came down, which no one can blame him for.
In no way should that have been an out due to the fact that it blatantly hit his leg.
