Yeah, I saw that earlier today. That's pretty scary and could be career threatening (though y'know, quality of life is more important than throwing a baseball 100 MPH)

Apparently it's been a recurring issue for him. He even had a procedure done a few years ago to fix an irregular heartbeat. Hopefully it's something he can continue to manage. I love watching him pitch.

The only team that's worse than them this way are the O's and it looks like they're finally TRYING to turn it around. The Mets need new owners IMO.

Trivia question...no Googling...

...all 3 leading AL MVP contenders (Trout, Betts, Ramirez) have a shot at 30-30 seasons this year. Can you name the only teammates to ever log 30-30 seasons in the same season?

Bonds and Bonilla?

Great guess, but incorrect. Bonilla never did 30-30 (never stole more than 8 bases in a season) although Bonds did 5 times (including a 40-40 season). Same era though if that helps...

Bonilla wasn't a base-stealer.

The go-to guys of old to start out with are both Bonds', Mays, Dawson, and Henderson (because of their career totals in those departments, but I don't know if Rickey ever had a 30 HR season), and if you recall even Canseco had a 40/40 season.

I do not know the answer to this though, and wouldn't know where to begin. I'm guessing they're not active players, but I could be wrong there as well. If it's anything pre-95, I'll likely be S.O.L. on the second player anyway.

EDIT: Well I'm reading above that it's the same era, so who did Bonds play with? Van Slyke is the only guy I really know of outside of Bonilla from that Pirates team. Maybe have to look to Dawson, Canseco or Henderson then.

It's an interesting answer. Might take some time to get it.
