PHOTO: Miguel Cabrera bobblehead mistakenly identifies him as 'NL MVP'
It's Miguel Cabrera bobblehead night at Comerica Park, and it's quickly turning into a disaster.
Cabrera is holding two Most Valuable Player awards representing his 2012 and 2013 American League MVP honors, but "National League" is scribed on both awards.

The manufacturer of the bobblehead is taking responsibility for the blunder, although someone within the Tigers organization must have approved it.
FWIW: "Forever Collectibles takes full responsibility for this error and we apologize to the fans. We are certainly disappointed." #Tigers

The Colorado Rockies had a similar fail on their Troy Tulowitzki jersey day this season.
