quote:Goldschmidt is on pace to better all of those numbers....I know he is good and knew he is having a good year and watch most of their games, but holy cow I had no idea it was that good!
The most legendary players from the Yankees Murderer's Row teams of the 1920's are the only two players in baseball history with at least 40 home runs, 120 RBIs, 120 runs scored, 200 hits, and 130 walks along with a .350 batting average, .450 on-base percentage and .620 slugging percentage in a single season. Goldschmidt might join that exclusive club, and then some. He's also on pace for over 20 steals. Neither Ruth nor Gehrig ever had that many steals while posting those numbers.
