Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton are quite the pair.
For that matter, the duo became one of the rarest pairs in Major League history on Friday when Gordon stole his 50th base. Along with Stanton’s 53 home runs, the two became only the third 50/50 combo of at least that many home runs and stolen bases in big-league history.
Gordon put the two in the record books when he stole second in the ninth inning of the Marlins’ 7-1 victory over the Braves. The only other teammates to put together 50/50 seasons were the Indians’ Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton in 1995 and Cubs’ Sammy Sosa and Eric Young in 2000.
