born in 1886 reached 3000 in 1921... so at age 35 was he still the youngest to 3000? I say yes!

 

[wilheim]

Could be Yount was a little over 36. Cobb might have been 34, because he was born in December. I dont know Carew answer. Wild quess first guy to steal home twice in a game.

wil.

 

[Kodiak7]

no, if you come up with it anytime soon let me know... I'm off to catch some ZZZ's!

 

[PanchoSanza]

Carew won 72 batting title without a homer.

 

[Kodiak7]

pancho... DING DING!! We have a winner!
