Detroit visits the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend to watch a three-game series at Rogers Center. In his career, Cabrera reached 13 players in 285 against the Canadian team bowlers, including seven at Rogers Center, the last in the 2017 season.

However, the Toronto franchise, which debuted in 1977, has never allowed a batsman to race 500 batsmen at home, either at home or on the road. The same thing happened with the Montreal Exposition (1969-2004) while they were on Canadian soil.

Blue Jays and Expos was MLB’s only foreign franchise.

Since then, the hitter has reached 23-4, unable to get the ball out of the park. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the most bats between the 499th and the 500th races are: Jimmie Foxx (61), Harmon Killebrew (43), Mickey Mantle and Alex Rodriguez (28).

In Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Angels, Cabrera was 2-for-5 with a double and four RBIs. He now hits .252 with 12 homers and 55 RBIs in his 19th MLB season (14 in Detroit).
