Curtis Granderson is on pace to hit 41 doubles, 25 triples, 22 home runs and steal 19 bases. I believe Willie Mays in 1957 is the only player to go 20+ in all four categories. Pretty cool.

P.S. Owen "Chief" Wilson hit 36 triples in 1912. Now that's an untouchable record!

Just saw the replay. Awesome catch indeed!
That better go into any Top 10 list as one of the best diving catches ever!!

And he would have done it 5 times, except for 9 triples that year.

Except that the feat we are discussing is different. Thanks for playing.

From all accounts, he is indeed a class individual, and he is definitely an articulate young man.
The strange part is, watching him everyday, I get the sense that he still can get even better. He has improved tremendously from last year, and I think he can continue to improve. He has decreased his strikeout totals and there's no reason he won't improve that as well in the next few years.
He is an excellent defensive centerfielder. His only weakness is his arm, which is below average.

During the game Rod mentioned that he is a slam dunk for top 5 in the MVP voting this year.

I hope you can make out this mess, but it's the current pop report on Granderson.
Right now, Granderson has the following numbers:
.301 BA
121 Runs
184 Hits
38 2B
23 3B
23 HR
74 RBI
26 SB
He's not going to win the MVP over ARod, but I'd love to see him finish 2nd or 3rd. And for Rollins? His numbers are:
.295 BA
139 Runs
211 Hits
38 2B
20 3B
30 HR
94 RBI
41 SB
I think he's got to be the NL MVP with those numbers, more so if the Phillies make the playoffs over the Mets.
