Unfortunately I moved back to college this week, so I have not been able to write any posts since Saturday. Hopefully I can get a few more off this weekend, but since it's Friday, here's your fact of the week.
In honor of Jose Bautista tonight, who currently has a home run, double, two walks, and a stolen base, here are all of the Blue Jays players with a HR, 2B, and SB in the same game. It has only been done 38 times (Bautista's game tonight has yet to be included) in Blue Jays history, the most recent time being Alex Rios in July 2008.
What makes this trifecta so difficult to accomplish is a player cannot steal a base on a home run or triple (well, only home which very rarely happens), and only rarely will steal third base. Almost all of the players on the list either have a single accompanying the 2B and HR, or at least one walk, which is when they probably got their stolen base. Tonight, Bautista walked in the first inning and then stole second, and only later hit his double and home run.
