Say what u want about the guy. Talk about his playoff history all u want. But he's currently at .314, 54 homers, 156 rbi and 143 runs scored. Throw in 24 steals for good measure. Truly one of the outstanding seasons in the history of the game.
In the history of baseball, here are the seasons for guys with 50 homers, 140 rbi and 140 runs:
Sosa, 2001..........64 hr, 160 rbi, 146 runs
Ruth, 1927...........60, 164, 158
Ruth, 1921..........59, 171, 177
Foxx, 1932...........58, 169, 151
Greenberg, 1938.....58, 146, 144
Wilson, 1930.........56, 191, 146
Ruth, 1928............54, 142, 163
Rodriguez, 2007......54, 156, 143
So there have only been six guys and eight performances. He's only the third guy in the last 70 years. He's one of only four guys to hit 50+ homers in three different seasons, along with Ruth, Sosa and McGwire.
