Here at Infection By Light we send a special shout-out to the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera for completing the first Triple Crown season (league leader in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in) in Major League Baseball in 45 years (Yastrzemski, Boston, 1967). Of course, baseball being the oddity that it is, the last Triple Crown before Yas was ... 46 years ago, when Frank Robinson achieved the feat for the Baltimore Orioles (1966).
Also, holy crap - what a year for the Oakland A's. Did anybody see that division title coming at the expense of the Rangers and the "new-look" Angels? Tigers and the A's square off in the first round of the playoffs starting Saturday, and away we go...
