GM salutes Tigers, Cabrera's triple crown

(October 8, 2012) DETROIT — Look, up in the sky.

General Motors this past weekend added three panels to its rotating LED sign atop its Renaissance Center headquarters to salute Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera’s winning the American League Triple Crown. Cabrera led the league in the batting average, runs batted in and home runs, the first player from either league to do so in 45 years.


In addition to the Tigers Old English “D” that is part of the GM sign rotation during Tigers home stands, new panels will say: “Congrats Miguel Cabrera,” “Triple Crown Winner,” and “AL Central Division Champions.”

The Triple Crown was last accomplished by Hall of Famer Carl Yazstremski in 1967 and only 14 times since the year 1900.
