Miguel Cabrera just won the Baseball Triple Crown: (which means he led the AL) in Home-Runs, RBI, Batting; yet in the 2012 World Series he did not have the same type of production. One Home-Run in Game Four and struck out to end the Series. Yet it’s not the first time a Triple Crown Winner was not also the Most Valuable Player, nor win a championship.
Here are Three examples:
1-Ted Williams – one of two players to win the Triple Crown. He first won it in 1942 and again in 1947, yet he didn’t win the Most Valuable Player Award. To add to that, he had one of the worst performances in the post season in the 1946 World Series and never achieved winning a World Series ring.
2- Carl Yastrzemski - wins the Triple Crown in 1967 yet the Boston Red Sox lose the World Series against St. Louis Cardinals.
3-Ty Cobb – Wins Triple Crown in 1909, yet the Detroit Tigers lost the World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Honus Wagner played on that team and out hit Cobb.

Sunday night, when last there was baseball, Miguel Cabrera stood in against Matt Cain in the bottom of the third with a runner on base. In a 1-and-1 count, Cabrera lifted an offspeed pitch into right field, and off the bat it looked like a fairly routine fly ball. But on this night in Detroit, no fly ball was a routine fly ball, and Cabrera’s just continued to carry and carry....

With the final pitch of this past world series in the book, we now have two iconic series-ending takes in recent memory. Miguel Cabrera was frozen by a Sergio Romo fastball when he was perhaps thinking slider, and Carlos Beltran famously flinched at an Adam Wainwright curveball in game seven of the 2006 NLCS.
Of course that’s just two data points, connected only tenuously by situation...

The 2012 MLB season has come to an end, far sooner than the Detroit Tigers and their fans were hoping for.
