starring Miguel Scandal Cabrera last Wednesday, when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, was a reflection of a problem that still remains fresh and that the player has not wanted to admit, his problems with alcohol.
In 2009, the player was involved in a domestic scandal when he was arrested for assaulting his wife in a drunken state.
The player underwent three months of a program to help people with alcohol problems. In 2010, return to the diamond as a new player, both well evidenced in the season he had (328-38-126), numbers that placed him in second place in the voting for the prize of the American League MVP, won by Josh Hamilton - another recurrent problems with drugs and alcohol, already surpassed that problem - the prize will come from time to time, provided Cabrera stay away from vices.
is not the first time a Venezuelan player has been involved in a scandal over the past three years we have seen our Creole scandals featuring sound and have been the covers of different media : Oswaldo Guillen will go with their problems, Carlos Zambrano also affected by the disease, Johan Santana involved in a rape case, Francisco Rodriguez for having beaten his father and now Cabrera.
Whose fault is it?, It's obviously hard to pinpoint, but there are several factors that have influenced this kind of behavior, obviously each one of them appears to have turned those negative episodes but Cabrera revived again this problem and seems to sting more if the player does not support his problems with alcoholism.
The difficult confession
psychologist and professor at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, Carlos Villarino, told the Daily Leader, said the first step in the rehabilitation of the addict is what Cabrera did not: admit the problem.
"This step is more difficult in the case of alcoholism, because it is a legal drug," said Villarino.
That situation it was found, when the player arrived in spring training 2010 and waved to reporters as follows:
"You (reporters) are saying that I am an alcoholic and not true, is another thing."
What else can be, that motivates the player to act in that way.
is no doubt that the sudden not knowing success and managed as a public figure, has stressed that Cabrera acted that way.
He did not admit their problems, it immediately becomes addicted, wanting to take refuge in drink to escape from all this.
In baseball this situation is not new, before stars like Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, among others, took refuge in drink to escape from a world where gods were figures and a sport, where they were idolized and demanded their best to please everyone.
Obviously, Cabrera stressing this will result in a deterioration in exceptional conditions, leading to his departure is abrupt in baseball and not as a star who left impressive numbers.
What to do now
is expected in the coming days, the player makes an appearance in Lakeland, training camp of the Detroit Tigers, and the leadership announced that the player will not be submitted Saturday as originally scheduled, because you must overcome some "things."
is clear that the organization is working on the newly re-offending player in the alcohol has resulted in a team where everything revolves around his performance, Jim Leyland, manager of the cats, I draw the situation Cabrera will not affect the team dugout, but how safe is Leyland, but have in their lineup to cleanup hitter and offensive team principal reference.
is no doubt that this player is still at an age where it has not fully exploited, perhaps this is the year of his consecration or is coming. No doubt that is in good physical condition. Is stronger, faster and you can blast your talent in the coming years.
