Andres Dawson is 1 of 3 players in the 400/300 group (400 home runs and 300 stolen bases in a career). The other 2 players are Barry Bonds and Willy Mays. Good group to be with.
Dawson was also a 30/30 player and was in that group, 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a season.
Congrats to Dawson for making the HOF and to his family for a great career.
On a non-Dawson topic, I will have infield options for the Cubs tomorrow. I said today but the Dawson election took it up.
