When doing trivia stuff on guys with insane numbers one player I always go with Jimmie Foxx......Rogers Hornsby.....his numbers are insane for some years.

Ted Williams? Not a huge Hr and doubles guy....probably not

Yeah, for some reason Foxx is always overlooked. And there is a reason Rogers Hornsby is ranked as high as he is by most people all time. He has some sick numbers/seasons

2 huge number guys (1 a definate cheater)...both were HUGE doubles hitters and both had HUGE HR seasons during HGH time.......Luis Gonzalez was always over 35 doubles....hit 57 HR and was known for some triples in a big Arizona park......he had to be extremely close if he didn't make it.

Another possible is Carlos Delgado who had 57 one year maybe and I know he was in the mid to upper 40's on doubles for some seasons

Pujols had to have been very close.....but probably didn't make it. You usually need some triples.

Old school Al Simmons? He had some sneaky insane Chuck Klein like years.
