40-40 club

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 40-40 Club is a group of baseball players of Major League Baseball , who made it in one season of 40 homers and 40 stolen base to achieve. "Admission" to this club is very rare in modern baseball. So far, only four players have been able to reach this mark.

The special thing about the performance is that a player who has so much strength that he achieves a large number of home runs is usually not fast enough to steal many bases.

The 40-40 Club is part of the so-called Multiple Stat Clubs of the MLB.
