    Earl's 67 doubles (AMAZING) has stood time for even longer than the .400 and the 56 game hitting streak. It's been there since 1931. 77 years and counting.

    The closest anyone has ever gotten to that (since 1950) is 59, by Todd Helton back in 2000. Carlos Delgado had 57 in 2000 as well, but was still 10 off.

    After Earl's 1931 season, he slipped off dramatically.

    Doubles fell from 67 to 28

    BA fell from .333 to .285

    Slug dropped from .528 to .417

    RBI's dropped from 103 to 78

    Hits dropped from 196 to 151

    Runs Scored dropped from 96 to 72

    Gradually, over the course of 2 seasons after '31, he fell off the radar.

    Earl Webbs got his record setting 67 doubles in 1931. The record still stands.
