Arguably the finest hitter in Major League Baseball Miguel Cabrera holds a unique spot in the hearts of baseball fans both in the United States where he performs his magic on behalf of the Detroit Tigers and also in his native Venezuela. This extraordinarily colorful and imposing jersey was worn by the 10-time All-Star during the 2006 World Baseball Classic Tournament. In 2012 Miggy managed the unthinkable: he became the first Triple Crown winner since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967 hitting .330 with 44 home runs and 139 RBI. That not surprisingly earned him the American League MVP Award just as Yastrzemski had done nearly a half-century earlier. Cabrera then threatened to up the ante by winning the Triple Crown in back-to-back seasons but narrowly missed while earning his second MVP nod. For those of you keeping score at home his Cooperstown ticket has already been punched awaiting only the conclusion of his amazing career and the five-year waiting period after that.

This remarkable jersey would be a stunning addition to any Cabrera collection a blazing pristine white knit jersey with Venezuela in script across the front in crimson-on-yellow tackle twill and his No. 24 appearing front and back in the same fashion and his name across the shoulders on the back sewn directly to the shirt. The lightly used shirt features crimson pipping down the front and a 2006 World Baseball Classic Majestic labeling on the front tail along with Size 48 flag tag beneath. Gold piping appears on each sleeve; the embroidered Venezuelan flag patch appears on the right sleeve and a Maltin colorful embroidered patch on the left sleeve directly above the Majestic logo insignia. The embroidered World Baseball Classic logo patch also appears at the back of the collar. The shirt is in simply sensational condition problem-free and without visible indication of alteration of any description. It is a stunning artifact to add to a collection featuring perhaps the greatest ballplayer of his generation.
