The longtime veteran and future Hall of Famer still sits at 2,999 hits in his career. Fans in the stadium and online are up in arms about the strategically sound decision. This is eerily reminiscent of the LA Dodgers pulling Clayton Kershaw from a perfect game in the seventh inning earlier this season.
Bob Nightengale summarized the situation that drew fan ire on Twitter.
This latest reason to be mad at the New York Yankees is certainly a valid one, and it is taking the internet by storm.
New York Yankees haters and Miguel Cabrera fans come together against the Yankees
Moments like the 3,000th hit are special. Being robbed of that moment had everybody taking to Twitter to voice their displeasure.
Aaron Boone will not be welcome in Detroit for a while after this one.
Fans in the stadium even got in on the New York Yankees thrashing, starting a loud chant to voice their displeasure, posted by Fox Sports on Twitter.
Even conspiracy theories came into play, with one fan linking Aaron Boone and Miguel Cabrera.
Frustrations abound after this controversial decision.
The New York Yankees might not live this one down for a while, but thankfully they are well versed in the villain role for the MLB. Hopefully Miguel Cabrera will get hit number 3,000 for the Detroit Tigers and their fans soon so everybody can be happy.
