Speaking of doubles and triples, Musial holds one of the most amazing of all records. He led the league in BOTH doubles and triples four times, and led the Majors in both twice. Brock led the majors once. Wagner led his league twice, and Pete Rieser once, but not the majors.

By contrast, Mays never led the league in doubles at all, and was in the top three only twice. Sam Crawford led the league in triples 6 times, but doubles only once.

The record for most doubles and triples combined in a season is held by Joe Medwick, with 64+13=77. Earl Webb was the anti-Owen Wilson, hitting 67 doubles, but stretching it to third only 3 times. (He could have hit 70!)
