Detroit Tigers 1st baseman Miguel Cabrera met with press at Comerica Park Thursday to address his rumored alcohol problem and it's subsequent treatment.
I have to commend Mr. Cabrera on his cander and openness about his struggles, beating the press to the draw as to avoid the usual media frenzy being exposed will present to star athletes and celebrities.
To some people, drinking is a problem. Some people drink because they use it as a means of socializing. Some drink because they like the taste. And some use it to escape or cope with problems. Rumors were swirling about Cabrera drinking heavily in the playoffs, because he didn't care about the team. He cared. Too much. He probably drank to cope with the pressure of playoff ball.
But hey, the man admitted he had a problem, and he got help. And he says he's through with the sauce. Remember, this is the country of the second chance. I will......Solid.
