Ichiro Suzuki has stolen 32 bases in a row without being caught. He is 38 out of 40 overall this year, an unbelievable percentage. I don't know if he's been hurting, but he's only stolen 4 in the past month-and-a-half, after averaging 8 or 9 a month the first 4 months.
Alfonzo Soriano is only one SB away from a 40 HR-40 SB season, joining the exclusive 40-40 club.
Ryan Howard is outdoing that other great slugger by that name, Frank Howard, from the '60's and '70's. He has not gone more than 3 straight games without homering in his last 48 games, since July 28. In that time, he's homered 25 times! This includes 7 HR in 5 games from Sept. 2-8, and homers in 6 out of 8 games from Aug. 23-31. He'll likely surpass Maris's old mark in this, his first full season in the majors at age 26!
