Miguel Cabrera mouthed 'Wow,' nodded & smiled after striking out against Joseph Ortiz this weekend

Phil Mushnick points out, "Joseph Ortiz, a reliever just up from the minors, struck out Miguel Cabrera, the defending MVP, who swung at a ball that came in belly-button-high and nearly landed in the dirt. Some pitch.

"Cabrera was then seen mouthing something toward Ortiz. What up? A close-up tape followed: Cabrera was smiling. What he mouthed to Ortiz clearly was “Wow!” Never saw anything like that before. Thanks, MLBN."



“It was a gesture of respect,” Ortiz said. “It was wonderful that he did that. It tells you what kind of person he is that he even shows respect to a kid like me. I started to chuckle, but I tried to do everything I could to hold it in.”
