I like this book because it is informational to people like me. This book would be perfect for people who like the Detroit Tigers baseball team and for people who like Miguel Cabrera number 24 on the Detroit Tigers. If you like informational books and baseball this book would probably be perfect for you. This book focuses on how Miguel Cabrera grew up to be a good baseball player.
