40 - 40
Today, Alfonso Soriano became the fourth person in history to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases. Some time ago I blogged that this would happen. Nobody believed me. I feel vindicated.
The other three players in the 40-40 club are Conseco, Bonds, and A-Rod. Not counting A-Rod, this is some pretty bad company, but strictly in the substance abuse sense. In the future hall of famer sense, you could do worse. This may not be a popular sentiment in these moneyball times, but I think that this is a very impressive accomplishment.
