Baseball Almanac is pleased to present the top one-hundred (100) all-time single season National League leaders in Major League extra base hits. Note: A bold faced entry denotes that the player was active during the previous Major League season.
"Being a pitcher is something you just don't walk out on the mound and do. You have to really work into it, and there's a lot of preparation that goes into getting up on a mound and throwing because it puts so much strain on your arm. I'm probably never going to get up there again because everyday I'm getting older, and I break a little bit easier." - Todd Helton on Major League Baseball Players Association Interview Show (Marty Lurie, 08/07/2004)
