On Monday evening as the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians battled, Miguel Cabrera did something you really never expect to see at a pro baseball game.
He gently gave Jason Kipnis, who was on first base, an awkward cup check.

Not surprisingly, Kipnis was a bit taken back, as were Twitter users everywhere.

I really just did see Miguel Cabrera tap Jason Kipnis right in the cup.
