If it’s not an alcohol problem, it will do till one comes along


Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, spring training 2010, to reporters: “You guys write in the paper ‘alcoholic.’ That's not right. I don't know how to explain, but it's not an alcohol problem.”

Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, spring training 2011, to police: “Do you know who I am?” before being arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and resisting an officer without violence.

According to St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, Cabrera refused to take a breathalyzer test during the early Wednesday incident. On the other hand, he reportedly took a swig from a bottle of scotch as a deputy watched.

You have to admit, though, for someone in the process of completely messing up his career, Cabrera sure takes a happy mug shot.
