Did You Know?

Miguel was awarded the 2002 AL MVP as he set career
highs in BA (.308), HR (34), RBI (131), Hits (204) and
Runs (108) while leading the A's to the AL West crown.
In 2002, Miguel was the only AL player to finish in
the top ten for BA, Hits, HR, RBI, Runs, Total Bases
and Times on Base.
Miguel has had 25+ HR, 105+ RBI and 95+ Runs each season from 2000-03.
In the stretch run of 2002, the A's put together a
remarkable 20-game winning streak. Miguel provided
the game-winning hit in both the 18th and 19th wins of that streak. Both hits came in the bottom of the 9th inning; the first being a 3-run HR and the other a
bases-loaded single.
In September of 2001, Miguel hit for the cycle with
the last piece of the feat coming in the form of a
Grand Slam.
Miguel became only the 3rd player from the Dominican
Republic to win an MVP award. Previous to Miguel, the last to do it was Sammy Sosa in 1998.
Miguel was signed by the A's at the age of 17. He
was signed by A's scout and Hall-of-Famer
Juan Marichal.
