Miguel Cabrera

In some ways, Miguel Cabrera had a pretty average week last week. His batting average was a good but not great .389 with an equally respectable but not incredible OPS of .839. He scored 3 runs and had 2 RBIs--sort of upper-middle of the pack with those numbers.

On the other hand, Miguel Cabrera had an amazing week last week because, on Saturday, he had his 3,000th hit. This make him the 33rd member of the 3,000 Hit Club--only 32 other players in the entire history of Major League baseball have reached this milestone.

Let me be among the many to offer you congratulations on your 3,000th hit, Miguel Cabrera.

And, let me be the first to offer you congratulations on becoming this week's MLBoyfriend!

Owen Miller

In the first five years of this blog, there was never an MLBoyfriend from Cleveland. Now that the franchise has finally ditched the racist name and mascot, players for the Cleveland Guardians are eligible to win the title. Owen Miller came out swinging, literally, for the Guardians at the start of the season.

In the first "week" (okay, it was really 11 days) of the season, Miller notched up 9 runs, 2 home runs, and 7 RBIs. He had a whopping .500 average and 1.510 OPS. He had 7 doubles--the most of any player in MLB. Miller was definitely the Guardians' stand-out player of the week.

Congratulations, Owen Miller! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week--and the first ever Cleveland Guardian to earn the title.

PS: Thanks for the cute pics on Instagram.
