Jose Bautista's most curious adventure
Posted: Sat Oct 2, 2010 6:22 pm
Just focussing on home runs doesn't do Jose's performance enough justice.
When you look across his entire line, it is so bizarrely wonderful, it's like something out of Lewis Carroll - or Ferris Bueller.
Here's the list
4th ever player with at least 35 2B, 50 HR, 100 BB, 100 R, 120 RBI. Others: Ruth (1920, 1921), Gonzalez (2001), Wilson (1930)
7th ever player in MLB history to post 50 HR, 100 walks and 30 doubles in a season.
14th ever player in MLB history to post 50 HR and 100 walks.
And I wonder how many outfield assists the Babe had.
Oh, and this: among guys who have hit at least 54 homers since 1954 (when this stat began to be tracked), only Jose and Roger Maris ('61) have fewer than 8 Intentional walks. Maris had 0 and Bautista 2.
