Orioles third baseman Manny Machado doubled twice off of Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster tonight, giving him 30 on the season. ESPN Stats & Info tweeted this interesting piece of trivia after Machado?s second double of the night in the Orioles? 2-0 victory:
Any time you can be mentioned in the same breath as Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, you?re doing a good job.
The single-season record for doubles is 67 by Earl Webb in 1931. Machado needs just 37 doubles over his team?s final 94 games to tie the record, a rate of one double every 2.5 games. If he continues at his current rate of doubles, 1 per 2.27 games, he would wind up at 71 doubles.
