Box Score of the Week

Brooklyn Dodgers at New York Giants - September 8, 1957.

-------------------------------------------

A tribute to perhaps the greatest all-around player in MLB history: Willie Mays. 

In this game, Mays recorded his 20th triple of the 1957 season. Two seasons earlier, he hit 50 homers in a season for the first time in his career.

In MLB history, about 30 players have hit 20 triples in a season and less than 100 have hit at least 50 home runs in a given year. However, Mays is the only player to be a member of both clubs.
