Whitesoxfan56 Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Bobby Abreu is currently on pace for 40 hr's and 40 sb's. My question to you is has there ever been a 40-40 guy in MLB history. I said no, but my friend said yes, but he cant give me any proof to back that up. Any information would be helpful. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jose Canseco did it. A few years ago, Alfonso Soriano almost did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesoxfan56 Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Alex Rodriguez. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> s***, then what am I thinking of...I know there is a "club" that someone has almost gotten into but fell just short, I thought it was 40-40, but I was wrong, could it be 50-50 or am i just crazy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The closest anyone has come to a 50-50 season is Alex in 1998 when he had 42 homers and 46 SB's. Brady Anderson actually had an odd stat during his career in that he's the only player in history to have a 20 homer 50 SB year and a 50 homer 20 SB year.

Between the Royals and Astros last year, Beltran had 38 HR and 42 SB's. Bobby Bonds had 39 Homers and 43 SB's in 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) Alex Rodriguez. I'd say Bonds too. I think he did it in 96(off the top of my head...if I am wrong, I'll correct it later), well before his roid days. He really did not start apparently roiding till like around the 01 season...and you can tell he started roiding for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Mays was quoted that if he knew they would make such a big deal out of 40/40, he would have done it about 5 or 6 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely agree because both numbers are becoming more difficult to reach. I don't think we'll see more than 2 or 3 guys get the homers, and the same for the steals. It's seems extremely unlikely that someone will hit both of those milestones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
