When Sergio Romo sealed his team's World Series victory with a strikeout of Miguel Cabrera, it was hard not to wonder what the hell Cabrera was thinking.

Miguel Cabrera Bleeds All Over The Infield After Taking Grounder To The Face

Spring Training Kicks Off With First Miguel Cabrera DUI Of The Year

Cabrera's Linguisitic Transgressions
On the surface, the news that a complaint has been filed against Florida Marlins wunderkind outfielder Miguel Cabrera for an incident outside a Venezuela club seems pretty rote, just another athlete "scuffle" at a bar.
