Some one-hoppers from the career leaders board:

Pat clings to his spot in the top ten in lifetime batting average with a .334 mark, landing him in tenth place.

He has climbed to fourth place all-time in hits, with 3,032. His buddy and teammate Tris Speaker is right behind him, and needs 30 more for three grand.

Home run #151, as mentioned before, leaves Pat second to the Babe on the career lists.

Two more RBI will give Pat an even 1,500, and he has moved into third place in this category. If he drives in 71 runs, he will become the all-time RBI king. Pat has fallen short of that total three times in his career: in his first two seasons, and in 1924 (he finished with 69, on a Red Sox team that was pathetically weak offensively).

Only Speaker and Nap Lajoie have more doubles than Pat, who has 543 two-base hits in his career.

With 276 triples, Pat has a chance to pass the 300 mark for his career, and with every three-bagger he hits, he breaks his own career record.

Pat has walked 1,629 times. Tillie Shafer is second with 1,281. 'Nuff said.

There is an interesting battle for the all-time lead in runs scored. Ty Cobb still holds the record, with 1,978, but Pat is right on his heels with 1,969. Ty played more regularly after his trade to the Cubs, but ended up hitting only .269. Don't bet against Pat to be the first man to 2,000.

Finally, Pat passed the 1,200 mark in career stolen bases, and now has 1,204 thefts. Cobb is second, with 1,126. Shafer became the third man to succeed at base larceny a thousand times.

Two more wins will give Walter Johnson 300 for his career; he would be the sixth pitcher to reach this milestone. Chuck Rose stands next at 285. Joe Wood's nineteen wins raised his total to 258, and with three decent years (or two very good ones) he will pass the 300 mark as well.

All three of the game's all-time strikeout kings were punching 'em out again in '24. Johnson passed the 3,500 mark, while Roy Hitt is well over 3,000 now. Smoky Joe's resurgence enabled him to pass the 3,000 barrier, too.
