Curtis becomes just the 3rd player in MLB history to record 20 HR's, 20 stolen bases, 20 doubles and 20 triples in one season (the other two were Willie Mays in 1957 and Frank Shulte in 1911) and he's just the 2nd player to have 30+ doubles as a part of that equation. (Shulte also did it)

The Tiger's leadoff hitter is also batting .304 for the season, he's just one extra base hit (79) behind league leading Alex Rodriguez (80) and he's playing a gold glove caliber centerfield in one of the toughest centerfields in all of baseball.

Not bad in just his 2nd full season in the majors.

Granderson is an absolute stud on a team full of young studs. God, what a future Detroit has.

Forget Jose Reyes, I believe this kid is the most exciting player in all of baseball.

Jimmy Rollins is two triples away from joining as well (Already has 36 doubles, 27 HRs, 36 steals). Amazing that it could happen twice in baseball history, then potentially twice in one year.

He does strike out a lot though.
