ST. LOUIS (AP) - Reggie Sanders' quest for his first 30-30 season could land him in an even more exclusive club.
The St. Louis Cardinals' left fielder is closing in on 300 home runs and 300 stolen bases, a feat accomplished by only four players. At the halfway point of the season he needed 12 homers and four steals to join Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Andre Dawson and Bobby Bonds in the power-speed fraternity.
Sanders' typical response to such statistical inquiries is to shush the questioner for fear of jinxing his chances. But he realizes this could be the defining statistic of a nomadic career in which he played for seven teams in seven seasons before joining the Cardinals last year.
