A player gets at least 20 of each in doubles, triples, homers and steals. Curtis Granderson is 1 HR and 3 SB shy of doing just that. Has anyone done it before? I found Buck Freeman from the Senators was close, coming 1 double short of reaching all marks in 1899.

Regardless of how the game has changed, he still didn't reach the marks. I was asking if anyone had done so, not the legitimacy of numbers players put up back then.

Willie Mays did it in 1957.
Frank Schulte in 1911.
I think that's all.

In 1979, George Brett had 42 doubles, 20 triples, 23 home runs and 17 steals. That is pretty close.

Records from 1899 are basically of no consequence. The game has changed so much. Just compare the gloves of that time, basicall a piece of leather resembling a hand. Hitters had a huge advantage.

I think 1 person might of. Mario and Rod (FSN Detroit Tigers broadcasters) keep talking about that and they keep saying a name over and over. But if not, GRANDERSON IN ONLY HIS SECOND YEAR?? WHAT A GREAT PICKUP FOR THE TIGERS!!
