Current Through 2009 Season

In 2001 Barry Bonds had one of the most amazing seasons in history yet fell shy of the single season record set by Babe Ruth in 1921. Will Ruth's record ever be eclipsed? Who has the potential to break that mark? Share your opinion on our baseball message boards today.

Did you know that hall of famer Chuck Klein is in the top ten for single season leaders of extra base hits (10) twice, but doesn't make the top twenty-five (25) all time extra base hits list?

How difficult / rare is a one-hundred (100+) extra base hit season? So difficult that in the history of Major League Baseball it has only occurred fifteen (15) times by fourteen (14) different players. A special congratulations to Todd Helton who is one of only two players (the other is Hall of Famer Chuck Klein) in Major League history with more than one-hundred extra base hits in a season twice during a career.
