Double #31 today in team game 69.

On July 5th 1931 @ Old Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox played their 69th game of the year with Webb going 3 for 5 hitting doubles #33 and 34.

#32 is in the books.

On pace for 74, unless he hits another one today which is entirely possible.

Kid is unreal.

Machado, Davis, and Jones are 1, 2, and 3 in the league in doubles. AWESOME!

The record for doubles in the first half (at least in the Retrosheet dB, which is back to 1916 but not complete prior to WWII) is 42, by Edgar in 1996. Manny is currently tied for 23rd, with almost a month left before the break. In 2008 both Brian Roberts and Nate McLouth had 33 at the break.

So in the 152 game season that the Red Sox played in 1931, by this point he would have been on pace for 76 doubles. When does he start to cool off and not hit as many doubles, because based on that his pace must slow down at some point.

I posted the monthly breakdown earlier in this thread. July was his best month with 18 doubles. But then he only hit 6 in August.

In team game 72 for the 1931 Red Sox, Webb went 1 for 4 hitting double #36.

The tag and toss double play was very impressive as well. Very heads up to get the lead runner.

Hard not to think of the B word when you see that.

Barring the embarrassing call, was close to a TP.

And I'll use the BROOKS-WORD!

If that ain't Brooksie I don't know what is! He was a LONG way from that ball when the pitch was delivered.

Heads up play by Manny. Head up his *** call by the ump.
