Brian Roberts hit his 50th double of the 2009 season last night, becoming only the 4th player in Major League Baseball history to have 3 or more seasons of 50+ doubles.
When you are 1 of 4 of anything in MLB history, that is pretty amazing.
When your company is the Hall of Fame trio of Tris Speaker, Paul Waner and Stan Musial, that illuminates how special the accomplishment is.
Roberts has been struggling again lately with just a .641 OPS in September (after a blistering .930 OPS in August), but overall, Roberts has had a very-solid 2009 season.
Roberts might not quite be worth the contract-extension he received from the O’s, but I do believe in his ability to be a productive member of the O’s for the duration of his contract.
