Teammates, fellow baseball players, and athletes from other sports all took to Twitter to congratulate Miguel Cabrera after the Tigers slugger became the first American League Triple Crown winner since 1967. Here's some of what was said about the accomplishment, first from his Detroit Tigers teammates:

Congrats to the best player in baseball @miguelcabrera #triplecrown #mvp. Now let's get the ring for the D!
