    I came across this bit of information: The 50-50 Club. How many knew that Craig Biggio was 1 of only 2 players in league history to accomplish 50 steals and 50 doubles in a season.

    Rickey Henderson hasn't done it. Ichiro hasn't done it. Pete Rose, Tony Gywnn, nobody but Biggio and Tris Speaker made it in 1912.

    I bring this up because this kid Hanley Ramirez has a real shot at making it this year and according to a great scout he is considered the best all-around player not named a-rod.

    It is special milestones such as the 50-50 that make an unassuming Hall-of-Fame career special....His 98 season was tremendous. Add the 3000 hits, ability to succeed at multiple positions and you have one of the best all-around players in the modern era...
