Grandy goes 20, 20, 20, 20
posted in 2007 season |20 homers, 20 triples, 20 doubles, 20 steals
Curtis Granderson stole second base in the first inning against the Mariners, making it his 20th steal of the season. That goes with 20 (now 21) homers, 22 triples and 36 doubles.
And that, finally, allows him to join Willie Mays as one of three major league players to do that in history. Frank Schulte is the first player to do it. He also had 30 doubles in 1911. Mays had 35 homers in 1957.
Congrats Grandy!
Update: Grandy homered.
