Miguel Cabrera 1991 Auburn Astros baseball card

Astros minor leaguer Miguel Cabrera had a big night this game in May 1992.

He hit a three-run shot in the fifth inning and followed that with a run-scoring sacrifice fly two innings later for four RBI on the night, The Asheville Citizen-Times wrote.

Cabrera had that night in his third season as a pro. It also proved to be his last season as a pro. He topped out at single-A. That home run also proved to be his only home run as a pro.

Cabrera's career began in 1990, signed by the Astros as a free agent out of his native Dominican Republic. The more commonly known Miguel Cabrera is from Venezuela.

He started with the Astros in 1990 in the rookie Gulf Coast League. He saw 20 games and hit .246.

Cabrera moved to short-season Auburn for 1991. He got into 35 games there and hit .226. He also stole six bases.

For 1992, he arrived at Asheville. He scored the game-winning run in a 2-1 win mid-May. Overall, he saw 22 games and hit .159 to end his career.
