Tony Womack was only 20 HR short of going 25/25 in 2004.

1. It seems like everyone is coming up with a favorite Tommy Pham stat. I have one of my own. If Pham finishes with a .300 batting average, a .400 onbase percentage, and .500 slugging percentage, he’ll make history. He’d become the first qualifying player in Cardinals’ franchise history to hit 20 homers, steal 20 bases and put up a slash line of at least .300 / .400 / .500.

That’s right; no Cardinal has ever produced a season with that unique combination. And with 10 games to go, Pham seemingly has a good shot at this. He’s hitting .311 with a .411 OBP and .523 slug. He’s already hit 21 homers and swiped 22 bases. Pham just has to avoid hitting less than .300, losing enough OBP points to take him below .400, and mix in enough power to keep the slugging percentage from dropping below .500.

He was a man ahead of his time. He'd be beloved by everyone in this era, but he wasn't as highly regarded in the 90s because Ks.

article on Judge but tommy gets a shoutout
Elsewhere, a lot of credit needs to go to Tommy Pham. Pham has helped to keep the Cardinals alive, and he’s done so by outpacing his preseason projected WAR by 5.3 wins. That’s a hell of a season he’s had, but still, Judge has outpaced his own preseason projection by 6.2 wins, and counting.
