In addition to his 50 doubles, he had only 6 other EBH (2 3B, 4 HR), <a href="http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/2FTaR" rel="nofollow">the fewest for a 50-double guy</a> since 1927. Also, his 90 OBP+ that year trails only <a href="http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/TJ9TB" rel="nofollow">Mark Grudzielanek's 81(!)</a> in his 54-double 1997 campaign (Roberts' 109 OBP+ this year is the second lowest for 54+ doubles). Careerwise, 25% of this guy's hits have been doubles! Compare that to career doubles leader Tris Speaker's 22.5% and the 2009 overall rate of 20%. Interesting numbers for a player with a career 104 OPS+! Also check out Roberts' sick 2004.
