Francisco Lindor & Jose Ramirez showing shades of Lou Gehrig & Babe Ruth

Currently, two Cleveland Indians hitters are on pace for MLB history.

Back in 1927, the New York Yankees had two legends in their lineup. This team is usually referenced for how great a team or player can be.

In 1927 the Yankees had Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth on the team. The duo had 117 and 97 extra-base hits respectively. Since then no pair in MLB history recorded 90 or more extra-base hits.

This year, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez are both on pace for 90 extra-base hits. Which is a huge deal as mentioned above.
