Only Chris Davis stands between Miguel Cabrera and baseball history.
As he heads toward the conclusion of another sensational season with the Detroit Tigers, Cabrera has a decent shot at becoming the first major league player to win the Triple Crown in successive seasons.
Entering play Tuesday, Cabrera comfortably led the AL with a .359 batting average, 29 points higher than runner-up Mike Trout. His 130 RBIs were best in the league, too, 12 better than Davis.
In home runs, though, Davis held a 46-43 advantage. And if the Baltimore Orioles slugger can make that lead stand up, Cabrera's bid for a repeat performance will be denied.
"As far as me being the obstruction for him doing it again, I hope he does do it again," Davis said. "That would be awesome. He's a great hitter. He deserves everything that he gets.
