Congratulations to Brian Roberts for breaking his own Orioles record for doubles in a single season. Brian is among a very elite group of players who have ever had three 50-double seasons, and he clearly is one of the best doubles hitters in the sport, but he'll have to grind out several more big seasons like this to make a real dent in the all-time career list. Brian has 314 career doubles, which ties him for 347th on the all-time list. He's 31 years old, so he's got a significant chunk of his career ahead of him, but he'd have to average 40 doubles a season through his 40th birthday to crack the top five. Not out of the question if he stays healthy and motivated.
