This board probably needs a thread about interesting stories throughout baseball history.
Take Miguel Diloné, for instance.
From 1901 through 1979, there had only been 10 seasons in history where a player had recorded at least 180 hits, batted at least .340 and stolen 60-or-more bases. More than a half of those seasons – six – belonged to Ty Cobb, and only Eddie Collins and Cobb had done it more than once.
But seemingly out of nowhere, Diloné produced those numbers in his first season as a regular player.
It has not been done since.
Interestingly enough, he was Cleveland's other young up and coming star-in-the-making that year alongside Joe Charboneau.
Thanks!
