Miguel Cabrera isn't just chasing milestones; he's hustling after his own mighty shadow

Miguel Cabrera made a little history Friday night. He also snapped the worst slump of his career. And if you’re gonna catch — and pass — Babe Ruth on the all-time hits list, busting a couple of singles after a 0-for-27 stretch feels rather poetic.  

This is the space Cabrera inhabits these days. Chasing milestones and his own outsized shadow. Watching his contemporaries — Albert Pujols was released last week by the Los Angeles Angels — fade into the distance . Trying to conjure a late, late-career renaissance.
