Why Hunt for 100 Grand?

I do feel that an explanation is in order for the Hunt for 100 Grand. Why? Because it’s a highly underrated statistical milestone. Don’t believe me?

Well, 15 hitters have reached the 100 extra base hit milestone. And for a point of reference, there have been 17 perfect games. 

See? It’s a special number. It is as they say, 100 Grand. Granderson needs 37 more in 60 games to become the 16th hitter. It’s a beautiful thing.

But you know what else? He’s going to join an even more exclusive club. All he needs is a double and two steals to get to 30 doubles, 15 triples, 15 homers, and 15 steals. Here’s why this is special.

It’s only happened once before. In 1930. Charlie Gehringer achieved that feat. It’s just that rare. And Curtis needs more pub for it.

We are only too happy to help.
