Miguel Cabrera can’t catch foul ball, hugs fan instead

Miguel Cabrera has an interesting relationship with Cleveland Indians fans. You might remember last year when Miggy gave his bat, batting gloves and a ball to a young Cleveland fan who had been trash-talking him earlier in the game. Nice guy, right?

Well, he embraced another Indians fan Thursday night in a very different way. In the bottom of the fourth, Cabrera gave chase to a foul ball off Juan Uribe’s bat. When he got to the seats, Miggy saw it was out of reach. So as he hit the brakes, he decided to hug the closest Indians fan.

Pay close attention to the moment the fan realizes a very large man is hugging him and his reaction. He goes from “WTF?” to “OMG!” real quick. It’s pretty great.

This all begs the question, baseball fans: Would you rather have a hug from Miggy or a bat?
