    I doubt anyone will get it, at least for the next few years. But here's a list of guys who I could definately see doing it if EVERYTHING went right...

    Joe Mauer - Made a run last year, the fact that he's a catcher hurts him most.

    Howie Kendrick - Best contact hitter to come up in the last 5 years, still, it's too early to tell.

    Albert Pujols - Duh.

    Looks like it's been done before but not in the past 66 years.

    Jeter could with the lineup he is in, no easy out. Teams can't pitch around him that way.


    Ichiro cause he can beat out so many hits, and with that speed, he puts added pressure on the fielders to hurry their throws and that can cause them to double clutch or make a bad throw.


    Jose Reyes is always hustling, and as he gains experience maybe he could be a possibilty in the future??

    3 names for you to think about!!

    They'd probably strike while he's at .394 and on a hot streak.

    maybe Gywnn, Jr. will in the future, but he needs to work his way into the everyday line-up first. getting 100-120 AB's a year is NOT going to work. hahhaha!
