([mlb.com](https://www.mlb.com/news/miguel-cabrera-impressed-by-ripkens-streak/c-147884656?utm_source=openai))  \n- He also had several seasons with **160 games played**, such as in 2004, 2008, and 2009. ([es.wikipedia.org](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Cabrera_%28beisbolista%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- There is *no record* of him appearing in all 162 games in any season \u2014 let alone *starting* all of them.\n\nSo, to answer your question directly: Miguel Cabrera never started all 162 games in a season; his best was 161."

I found authoritative info that shows exactly how the asterisk (*) was written in **EBAE (English Braille, American Edition)**, the old U.S./North American braille system.\n\n---\n\n## How *asterisk* was written in EBAE\n\nIn old North American/English U.S. Braille (i.e. EBAE):\n\n- The *asterisk* was represented by the two-cell sequence **\u201c99\u201d**. ([brailleauthority.org](https://www.brailleauthority.org/ueb/abcs/abcs-ueb.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- In braille-dot terms, each \u201c9\u201d is a cell with **dots-3 and 5** raised.
