Miguel Cabrera Omitted from All-Quarter Century Team

Baseball star Miguel Cabrera, known for his impressive hitting, was surprisingly left off The Athletic's list of top players from the last 25 years.

This is because the team was chosen based on the player's main position, and Cabrera played many different positions throughout his career.

Also, other players at first and third base had better defensive skills, which made them more appealing choices.

Because he wasn't a top player defensively, Cabrera's skills at the plate weren't enough to get him on the team.
