Notre Dame Connection to MLB's Triple Crown!

This evening -- some time after 10 PM ET -- Miguel Cabrera will become the 15th player in the history of Major League Baseball to win the "Triple Crown."

And, the first to win it in the last 45 years -- when a former Notre Dame student by the name of Carl Yastrzemski (photo) won the Triple Crown in 1967 playing for the Boston Red Sox.

As a fan of the Detroit Tigers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish I just had to make this connection!

"Save Jimmy Johnson's ___ For Me" -- Holtz

It's been 24 years since these words were said in the Notre Dame locker room prior to the game against Miami in 1988...

This story will be told forever.

The gang at Fighting Irish Digital Media caught up with Coach Holtz, Pat Terrell, Steve Belles, Tony Rice and Scott Kowalkowski to talk about that moment.
