October 4th, 2001
On this day in 2001, in a 16-1 loss to Seattle, 26-year old Ranger shortstop Alex Rodriguez hits his 52nd home run, becoming only the fourth major leaguer to hit 50 home runs and 200 hits in the same season. Hall of Famers Babe Ruth (1921), Hack Wilson (1930) and Jimmie Foxx (1932) are the other players to accomplish the feat.
