By a unanimous vote of the Detroit Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Miguel Cabrera was named the 2012 Tiger of the Year.

It's the third time he's been honored with the award (2008, 2010), making him the third Tigers player to win it three times, joining Alan Trammell (1980, '87, '88) and Cecil Fielder (1990, '91, '92).

The first winner of the Triple Crown in 45 years, Cabrera has already been named the Sporting News' Player of the Year, Player of the Year and American League Outstanding Player in the Players Choice Awards, and the AL Hank Aaron Award recipient. Earlier this week was named as one of five finalists for the BBWAA's AL Most Valuable Player award, the winner of which will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 15.
