Webb Head
Magglio Ordonez continues his assault on Earl Webb's double record with his 34th two bagger of the year tonight. That puts Ordonez on a pace for 78 doubles, which would crush Webb's 67 in 1931. Even if Magglio returns to his career double rate, he should bang out another twenty-two this season, putting him at 56. This may end up being the best run at Webb ever. Could both the AL doubles and home run records fall in the same season?
Update: What might be even more amazing is that Sean Casey hit his first home run of the season today.
Correction: I can't add. 34+ 22 is 56. It's been a long day.

34 + 22 = 56
Nevertheless, his start is utterly amazing. Here's hoping he makes a run at the record (especially since I'm a Tigers fan). Now that the HR records are all goofed up by steroids, maybe we should make the doubles record the most prestigious hitting mark?
NOW you can point out how much the Nats suck! ;)
Kendall, Furcal and now Casey get their 1st HR's all within a week? Something's rotten in June.
