10/01: A-Rod's Season
A-Rod finished his season with the following line (in 158 games): .314 AVG, 54 HR, 156 RBI and 24 SB. I hope that Yankees fans realized what they've seen this year. His OPS this year was 1.067 - the best number of his career. That's saying something. But, even with that in mind, if you enter those numbers into
Baseball-Reference.com's Play Index to find how many players have had a season with numbers equal or better to those, you find exactly 0 players. A-Rod is the only one. Crazy. Even if you weaken it a bit (.310 AVG, 50 HR, 150 RBI, 20 SB), you only get him. This has been some kind of year. That's what you call a (hopefully not) walkoff year, right there.
