In addition, i learned Schulte was one of only four players to ever make the 20-20-20-20 club, which i never knew existed. 20+ doubles, triples, homers and stolen bases in one year.

Cards always mean a lot more when you know something.

I remember hearing that there were 4 players who had done that in 2007 after both Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson did it. Willie Mays (1957) also did it. I don't remember Schulte being the fourth, but he did it in 1911.
