I liked this trivia question I saw on Reddit:

Three players have hit for 50 home runs in a season as well as stolen 50 bases in a season (doesn't have to be the same year). Who are the other two besides Shohei?

I wouldn't be bragging about LA weather these days. The yearly wildfires would probably send me to San Diego if all things were considered.

You’re better than this

Wildfires happen in Southern California every year

I would start with the 50 home run hitters first...

I know Arod had some 50 home run years, but I don't remember if he ever stole that many bases during his Seattle days, and by the time he got to Texas/NY he slowed down.

Bonds is the other obvious choice, he was a big base stealer during his Pirate days, and of course he had some big power years, so without looking I'd say Bonds?

Sosa had a couple of 30/30 seasons but i don't think he got anywhere near stealing 50 during his power years...

Canseco had a 40/40 season...

Tim Raines ain't never have no 50 home run season

Guessing I would say its Ty Cobb or some player from the 1800s or some sh*t

Too bad Cohen can't drive up the price for Sasaki like he did with Yamamoto and the LA Deferrals.

It's gonna be the Dodgers.

San Diego's ownership situation is holding them back and Toronto doesn't have a direction

Jays are like 0/17 when it comes to being “finalists” or “in the mix”

The sound of the ball off the bat, the all dirt infield. That's baseball at its purest
