If you look at the list of players who have had seasons with 25 home-runs and 50 stolen-bases, there are some renowned names there. Indeed, of the seven different players to have done it before this year - the Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr beat Carroll to the punch - three are in the Hall of Fame. Rickey Henderson, Joe Morgan and Ryne Sandberg are all in Cooperstown, and Barry Bonds would be a fourth, if hadn’t been such a dick. Of course, there’s a long way to go before we can find out Carroll’s ultimate fate. But what we do know is, he is the first rookie ever to accomplish the feat, and is also the youngest in fifty years, since César Cedeño became the first, during his age 22 season, in 1973.
