Things The Tigers Lead The League In
This is just incredibly cool to me.
As of today, the Tigers lead the (major) league in batting average (.287 - with Seattle in second at .285), slugging percentage (.479 - with Cleveland in second at .447), total bases touched (968 - with Florida in second at 910), RBIs (327 with Cleveland in second at 309), triples (18, tied with Kansas City and Florida), doubles (141 with Florida in second at 130), hits (599, with the Angels in second at 575), runs (340, with Cleveland in second at 318), OPS (on base plus slugging - .827 with Boston in second at .804) and XBH (extra base hits - 232 with Florida in second at 215).
That's a lot.
Individually, the Tigers have some stuff going on as well.
Curtis Granderson has the most triples with 10, Gary Sheffield has the most runs scored with 53 (I think), Maggs has the most RBIs (54), highest average (.362), doubles (29), and total bases (147). I just love it.
Of course, it took me a long time to compile all this, like an hour, so I'm going to post it and hope that all of these things don't stop being true.
Okay? Have a great night.

Great post Adam! Been waiting for you to get back to baseball.
A couple more individual items. Granderson is on pace to get more than 21 triples in a season. The last was 23 in 1949. Ordonez is on pace to hit 80 doubles and he would become the first player with more than 60 doubles in more than 70 years. I believe the record is 66.
Clemens makes his Yankee debut vs. the Pirates on Saturday. Hope they bomb the snot out of him.
