Astros’ George Springer reaches 100 runs in 2016

With the good old days of the Houston Astros offense, we were used to Craig Biggio scoring 100 runs year in a year out. One would think that Jose Altuve would have scored 100 plus runs in the past two seasons, but instead, George Springer beat him by scored his 100th run yesterday. According to Jake Kaplan, this is the first time an Astros player has done it since 2008. It was actually the Big Puma, also known as Lance Berkman.

When you think of players who normally score 100 runs, you tend to think that the player was the leadoff hitter.
