Paging the Elias Sports Bureau: Prince Fielder

[UeckerAddict]

I was curious if anyone would have access to answer this question.

 

If Prince got to 40 home runs this year, he would have had HR totals in the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s in his first 4 full season. Has this ever been done before?

Depends on your definition of a full season. Hank Greenberg hit 26 in '34, 36 in '35, 40 in '37, and 58 in '38. But he played in 117 games as a rookie in '33 and only hit 12.

Also, Willie Mays hit 20 in '51, 41 in '54, 51 in '55 and 36 in '56.

 

But again, not in consecutive seasons.

I love your avatar. Just substitute Yo for JJ and then you have it perfect.

Thanks, it was made by JumpinMacFlash and I appreciate that he lets me use it. It was made when that was the Brewer infield, which is why there's no Gallardo.

Makes you wonder what could have been had the Brewers dealt Hall after 2007 - and chose to stand pat with that IF...
