Miguel Cabrera sat in a corner of the Detroit Tigers’ lighter and brighter remodeled clubhouse Thursday morning at Comerica Park. Everything is new in the clubhouse.

Detroit — Major League Baseball can make the batter get ready to hit within eight seconds. And it can make the pitcher throw the ball within 15 to 20 seconds. But the one thing the baseball brass couldn’t do Thursday was put a time limit on the rollicking festival that occurs when a baseball team
