Thanks for the reminder of what a great human being Stan Musial was, we should all aspire to act a little more like him everyday.

Members of the 20-20-20 club (doubles, triples, homers):

Frank Schulte (Cubs) - 1911
Jim Bottomley (Cardinals) - 1928
Jeff Heath (Indians) - 1941
Willie Mays (Giants) - 1957
George Brett (Royals) - 1979
Curtis Granderson (Tigers) - 2007
Jimmy Rollins (Phillies) - 2007

I always loved the triple-hitting machine, Willie Wilson of the Royals during the 1980s. I don't think he (or anyone from the early '80s) was worried about launch angle given his low career HR totals, of which I'm sure many were inside-the-parkers.

I would add Ryne Sandburg in 1984, a member of the 19-19-19 club. He at least deserves honorable mention

I knew I missed some people doing this manually...I just added Curtis Granderson to my original list.

I just watched the whole thing. Time well spent. Thanks for posting it.
