If Encarnacion Reaches 40 Homeruns...

That would give the Jays 3 players with 40+ HR and 110+ RBI

Has that ever happened before?

I don't just mean in Toronto's history, but has it ever happened?

First two sets, but not the Braves. Had the homers but not the RBI. Better question is, how many team-mates ever finished 1-2-3 in RBI in the league?

Davey Johnson was a little suspect. He never had another 20 HR season before or after that one and only 4 10+ HR seasons. If they had steroids in baseball back then, he'd be a suspect.

Not sure if any teammates have ever finished 1-2-3 in RBI's before. doesn't look like it

I'm a little embarrassed I hadn't considered those Colorado teams in the 90's

In '96, Ellis Burks put together one of the best fantasy seasons of all-time

142 runs, 211 hits, 45 doubles, 40 HR, 128 RBI, 32 SB, .344 AVG, .408 OBP and a 1.047 OPS

He lead the league that year in runs, SLG% and total bases
