On Hart and 20/20

So I mentioned in this morning’s Mug that I was surprised that no Brewer has ever gone 20/20 twice. I decided to take a minute to take a deeper look at it.

First, here are the five Brewers who have done it:

Tommy Harper, 1970: (31 HR, 38 SB)
Robin Yount, 1980 (23 HR, 20 SB)
Jeromy Burnitz, 1997: (27 HR, 20 SB)
Marquis Grissom, 1999: (20 HR, 24 SB)
Corey Hart, 2007: (24 HR, 23 SB)

Among players with 20 SB, here are the nearest misses:

Paul Molitor, 1982: (19 HR, 41 SB)
Paul Molitor, 1987: (16 HR, 45 SB)
Paul Molitor, 1983: (15 HR, 41 SB)
Eric Young, 2003: (15 HR, 31 SB)

And among players with 20 HR:

Robin Yount, 1987: (21 HR, 19 SB)
Robin Yount, 1989: (21 HR, 19 SB)
Cecil Cooper, 1980: (25 HR, 17 SB)
Jose Valentin, 1996: (24 HR, 17 SB)
George Scott, 1972: (20 HR, 16 SB)

Coming into 2008, only 31 Brewers had ever hit 20 HR in a season:

Geoff Jenkins (1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007)
Jeromy Burnitz (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001)
Cecil Cooper (1977, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1983)
Rob Deer (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990)
Gorman Thomas (1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982)
Greg Vaughn (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996)

George Scott (1972, 1973, 1975)
