Doubles Record

Hank Blalock doubled in the third inning against the Angels Saturday night, the 374th double of the season for the Rangers. That breaks the major league record held by three teams. The Rangers employed a number of players with a high doubles total in a limited amount of games. Ian Kinsler was on pace for over 50, over a season, and Milton Bradley could have finished with over 40. Their substitutes, however, did a very good job in knocking out the two baggers. It's a record that's held for 78 years, and despite the longer schedule, teams could only tie before this season.

Now, if they can get the pitchers to give up less than 352 doubles, they might have a winning team.
