"Baseball Trivia" is an Oxymoron

Only two Major Leaguers have had two 50 hit months in their careers.
Name them.

"Ducky" Joe Medwick? Absolutely. Triple Crown and NL MVP in 1937. He's in the Hall of Fame, and was kicked out of the 1934 World Series by Commissioner Landis "for your own safety," because the opposing fans hated him so much. (They say he was a dick--Bill James compares his personality to Albert Belle's.) What confuses me is that he wasn't one of the names I had. Where'd you get him?

There's no such thing as cheating when it comes to baseball trivia.

Bart, you're right (though I'm still working on the whole Ducky Medwick thing, as I'm certain that Drew didn't just pull that out of his ass for no reason). But let's not call Pete Rose "the Hit King" here--he's my least favorite player ever.
