Select company
You may remember Reggie Sanders from the season he played in Pittsburgh. He was one of the more productive of the Pirates' parade of stopgap veterans, hitting 31 home runs in 2003 during his only season here.
He now plays for Kansas City, his eighth team and one that might challenge the modern single-season record for losses this year. Reggie has put up so-so numbers for the Royals, but he has reached one milestone that deserves more attention than it's getting.
Sanders' home run on Saturday gives him 300 for his career. He also has stolen 302 bases, which puts him among select company in the history of Major League Baseball. The only other members of the "300-300" club are Willie Mays, the late Bobby Bonds, Andre Dawson and another guy named Bonds.
I'm guessing his accomplishment will be one of the few baseball highlights to come out of Kansas City this summer. posted at 10:56 AM by Harry Funk
