Triple Splurge

Curtis Granderson of the Detroit Tigers had a recent 8-game stretch in which he hit 6 triples. If that doesn't sound so impressive, consider that those 6 triples alone would put him in 4th place in the majors after 60 games. He now has 12 in 60 games, an impressive rate of one every 5 games, which would give him 30 or more for the year, a number reached just once in the last 100+ years. Even more impressive, Granderson also has 19 doubles, which with 8 homers and a .291 avg. gives him a .583 slugging percentage, 8th best in the majors.
