Tigers centre-fielder Curtis Granderson joined Willie Mays and Frank (Wildfire) Schulte as the only players in major-league history with 20 stolen bases, 20 homers, 20 triples and 20 doubles.

 

Schulte and Granderson are the only two players in baseball history with at least 30 doubles, 20 stolen bases, 20 homers and 20 triples. Schulte finished with 30 doubles, 23 stolen bases, 21 home runs and 21 triples nearly a century ago.

 

Right now Granderson has 36 doubles, 21 homers, and 22 triples.

 

Freak.

Yep, and one poster in particular was trying to temper everyone's enthusiam about the callup of Pie earlier this year by saying "we just called up a Granderson-esque player, big deal".

 

If Pie turns into Granderson then I would gladly take it.

I was actually gonna post a question on here yesterday asking if anyone knew how many ballplayers in hissory had 30 doubles, 20 triples, 20 homers, and 20 stolen bases in a season. There's my answer.

Sandberg had 36/19/19 in 84. With the proper amount of roids and HGH, he'd have gotten it! :)

Ryno had 200 hits in that year too.

Of course Granderson is in short company under this particular criteria... by adding in triples, you suddenly have a very trivial, arbitrary set of stats (speaking on a collective level).

See Brian, I told you he could single handedly win you the triples category.
