[The Commissioner]

RE: 40 HR/40 2B

Unless I left anyone off, it's only been done 25 times. The following is a list of the players that have accomplished this feat:

Three times: Gehrig
Twice: Ruth, Greenberg, Klein, Belle, Helton
Once: Juan Gonzalez, Bagwell, Hornsby, Stargell, Frank Thomas, Shawn Green, Trosky, Burks, Larry Walker, Chipper Jones, Delgado, and Richard Hidalgo

I think albert Belle did it one year with Cleveland - he might have had 50/50.

Of course he's still a dog

[The Commissioner]

RE: 40 HR/40 2B

Belle did it once with Cleveland and once with Chicago. His 50/50 season in Cleveland is the only time that was ever accomplished in Major League history.

Newbie here..

A-rod did it, he has a 40-40 back in 98' i think... not sure if it's first shortstop to pull it off!

[The Commissioner]

RE: 40 HR/40 2B

Welcome to the forums!

A-rod was 40/40 as far as 40 HR and 40 SB, but the question specifically referred to players with 40 HR and 40 2B in the same season. A-rod has never accomplished that.

SEVEN of these incidences occuring since 2003.

Willie Stargell was the only player to do it ouside of the biggest offensive eras of all time-the 20s/30s and the 90s/2000s. Just shows how important offensive context is.

[SABR Matt]

This is why Duke Snider is so overrated.

Check out his HR totals from 1953-1957 in Ebbots...and then look from 1958 on.

One of the most overrated players in baseball history.
