In the fifth and final episode of La Leyenda, host Daniella Bruce takes you through an exploration of Miguel Cabrera’s legacy both on and off the field. We hear from the people who know Miguel best, his parents, as well as his childhood hero, Venezuelan infielder Dave Concepción. Cabrera is the Tigers’ 2023 Roberto Clemente Award nominee. We explore his passion for helping others, especially kids, on a global scale. Over the years, Cabrera’s joyful personality and desire to connect with those in the stands has led to some remarkable fan interactions. We relive one of these viral moments and chat with the kid at the heart of it all, eight years later, about what the experience meant to him and his passion for the sport. Finally, as we near the end of an era in Tigers history, what does Miguel Cabrera mean to Venezuela, Detroit, and the game of baseball? We take one last look at the lasting impact of #24 with the help of teammates, coaches, and MLB Hall of Famers.
