What’s with the glut of celebrities popping up in Philly lately? First Kevin Hart pops up with 500 computers, then Jimmy Fallon grabs a cheesesteak and then on Friday Miguel Cabrera is hanging with other Philly athletes. The Detroit Tigers third baseman, the reigning AL Triple Crown winner and likely 2013 AL MVP, happened to be in town for surgery that took place yesterday. The Tigers report that the “core muscle repair” (read: sports hernia) was a success but more interesting is what Cabrera did while in town. Over the weekend Cabrera visited the Flyers dressing room at the Wells Fargo Center and snapped the pic above with Flyers right winger (and friend of the CenterCityTeam) Jakub Voracek. Yesterday, a post-op Cabrera popped up at Eagles practice to work on his long snapping with Jon Dorenbos.
So Cabrera parties with the Flyers and Eagles but sadly he didn’t stop by the Bank for a visit with the Phillies. The good news is that if ever decides to come to Philly and he’s shopping for a condo we hear another prominent baseball players penthouse condo just went up for sale.
