Taking Roger Clemens opposite field in the World Series in your rookie year? Signs of things to come for Cabrera.

[dylanmurray]

And at that moment, he was destined for greatness

[The_yeffy]

I still can't get over that Marlins team that year it was stacked. Perfectly assembled team they meshed so well

[joeomalley]

Awesome seeing Cabrera take Clemens deep, especially after Clemens is like "here is some chin music". And, over all, a hell of an at-bat. Cabrera's confidence built with each pitch. What a great hitter.

[robertcrist]

Congratulations to Miggy for getting his 3000th hit in baseball! A true hallmark!

[coldkid]

Can’t believe this series was so long ago. Remember it like yesterday.

[woobiey]

I was at this game.... i was in right field where the ball landed. One of my best memories with my dad.

Triple corona, más de 500 HR más de 3000 HITS, Campeón de la serie mundial y un montón de logros más, salón de la fama UNANIME!

[ChairmanMeow]

not even possible for joe buck to have less emotion in this call

[perfectsense]

I love how Miggy stares Clemens down as if to say, "You've got nothing on me, punk. Watch this."

[NicanTlacaWarrior]

One of the finest hitters, ever. Dude was a beast even at 20 years of age.

[kcsports]

This guy, Cabrera, he could be good some day.

[Bflo]

Time flies. I can’t believe Miguel Cabrera has been in the majors for 16 years already.

[patriot]

I see Joe Buck was ruining the baseball experience in 2003 as well.

[nvte_shrvd]

Pudge Rodriguez and Miguel Cabrera on one team? Holy shit

[XxStonedImmaculatexX]

Joe Buck sounds like he lost a bet and now he’s forced to call this game 😆

[hojocollider]

Came here after reading Miggy is going to be hanging them up. What a sample of things to come for his career. I'll never forget the look he gave Clemens.

[hushg]

This Cabrera kid might become a solid player. Only time will tell

[AbleAnderson]

I remember being so disappointed after this world series feeling like the yankees blew it, and they did. But in retrospect, this was an absolutely loaded marlins team. Just loaded. How in the world the Florida Marlins managed to scrape together this kind of talent in the days when the yankees were outspending teams 10-1, it's just incredible.

[ace]

I was at that game. Still have some of the items from that game. Was on such an emotional high given how the game ended on a homer in extra innings. Go Marlins!
