		<description><![CDATA[TweetI have no idea if Miguel Cabrera&#8217;s recent capturing of the Triple Crown will yield a musical tribute.
But it&#8217;s safe to presume that the Detroit Tigers&#8217; star won&#8217;t get anything like what Carl Yastrzemski, the last man to lead his league in homers, runs batted in and batting average, inspired with his 1967 feat.

<p>Boston radio disk jockey Jess Cain recorded <a href="http://staffannouncer.com/blog/?p=18" target="_blank" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/staffannouncer.com/blog/?p=18&amp;referer=');"><strong>&#8220;The Carl Yastrzemski Song,&#8221;</strong></a> with corny lyrics and sound effects to harken back to a more innocent and playful time. I&#8217;m not knocking it; just realizing that 45 years is a damn long time to go not only without a Triple Crown winner, but also to observe the stark differences in how athletes were revered then. </p>
<p>This has got an &#8220;I Like Ike&#8221; sentiment that just doesn&#8217;t cut it today, along with a little old-school oompah since replaced in Red Sox nation by &#8220;Sweet Caroline.&#8221;</p>
