Ronald Acuna Becomes 5th Player Ever With 40-40 Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Sep 23, 2023 7:36 pm

Ronald Acuna Jr. has become the fifth player to have at least 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a season as he hit his 40th homer of the season on Friday.

Acuna joined Alfonso Soriano (2006), Alex Rodriguez (1998), Barry Bonds (1996) and Jose Canseco (1988) as the only members of the 40-40 club.

\"It\'s elite company, that\'s for sure,\" manager Brian Snitker said. \"I\'m just glad I got a front-row seat to watch it.\"

Acuna is the only player ever to have a 40-60 season, and in fact, no one before this season had ever achieved a 40-50 season.
