KANSAS CITY - There were no such thing as cellphones, Twitter and even the Internet the last time it happened, but Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown feat Wednesday still seemed lost in the dark ages.

 

Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to win baseball's Triple Crown, and only the 14th player in history, but the conclusion to what became an inevitable feat this week hardly resembled a coronation.

 

Three national baseball writers were in attendance to document the event Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo., where a sparse crowd dutifully recorded Cabrera's at-bats with their smartphones.
