Yes! Bobby Witt Jr. had 11 triples, 31 stolen bases, 32 Homers, and 45 doubles last year.

Surprisingly, Curtis Granderson never had 40 doubles. But he is one of 4 players in the 20 triple, 20 stolen bases, 20 Home Runs and 30 doubles club along with Jimmy Rollins, Willie Mays and Frank Schulte.

Jimmy Rollins is in his own club of 20 triples, 30 Home Runs, 30 doubles, and 40 stolen bases (2007), but is not in a 10-20-30-40 club I was looking for.

Alfonso Soriano
Hanley Ramirez

Soriano never had 10 triples, but he may be the only member of the 40 steal, 50 double, 30 HR club (2002).
Hanley Ramirez had 11 triples, 51 steals, and 46 doubles, but only 17 Home Runs in 2006. I believe he was 10-20-30-40 if you combine different years.

Well, that is a 10-20-30-40 club for Rollins, but not one of the clubs you were looking for.

Trout? Betts?

Bobby Abreu?

Trout never quite got to 10 triples (he had 9 twice).

Betts' high for triples was 8.

The two years Abreu had 10 triples, he only had 20 HRs. But he's a great guess.

Hornsby reached 10 triples an absurd 9x, but his high for steals was 17.

But you are in the right era for on of them.

Klein?

Correct!

Chuck Klein had 15 triples, 20 steals, 38 HRs, and 50 doubles in 1932. So he actually overshot and made a 10-20-30-50--the only player ever to do so. He led the league in stolen bases and Homers that year, making him the 2nd person to do so after Cobb (I don't think anyone has done it since).

The last two players I am looking for were Red Sox.

Now that's baseball! Hopefully he can at least keep up his doubles and triples production and add to his stolen base production.

Must be Rice, he had some speed young. Lynn too?
