100 or more extra base hits

[banny]

I was really surprised to learn how rare the feat of aquiring 100 or more extra base hits in a season is. To my knowledge,only 9 men in the history of major league baseball accomplished it.
They are:Babe Ruth,Lou Gehrig,Chuck Klein,Stan Musial,Hank Greenberg,Rogers Hornsby,Jimmie Foxx,Albert Belle and Todd Helton.
Klein and Gehrig did it twice. Ruth came close 2 other times hitting 99.Greenberg also had a 99 extra base hit season.
Larry Walker just missed,reaching 99 in 1997. Carlos Delgado came within 1 of the magic mark in 2000.

Barry Bonds did it in 2001 as well. 32 doubles, 2 triples and of course 73 hr's.

[BSmile]

Actually, Luis Gonzalez in 2001 too. 36 doubles, 7 triples and 57 hr's for an even 100.

[George H Ruth]

Sammy Sosa did it in 2003 34 doubles 5 triples 64 home runs.

But after that no one has done it.

heres a link to the list



the earlier ones are cooler to me than the recent ones because players like Ruth, Gehrig and Musial did it by getting large amounts of everything

[Blackout]

fat albert got 99

it can be done.

[Sultan_1895-1948]

Forgot the "P"

And the "H"

[bob]

Incredible to think that were wasnt any 100 XBH seasons from '48 (musial) to '95 (belle). 47 years without any, and then 5 since the millennium.

[KCGHOST]

Interesting that 99 EBH's has been accomplished 8 times (Greenberg, Ruth (2), DelGado, Belle, Derrick Lee, Larry Walker, and Pujols).
