Today's Quiz: The 'MLB 30/30 club' quiz

Major League Baseball has a long and storied history, so it's not often that a player can do something that fans have never seen. But that's just what Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. accomplished in the first half of the 2023 season. On Monday, Acuna swiped stolen base No. 40 on the year, making him the first player to have 20 home runs, 40 stolen bases and 50 RBI before the All-Star Break. It's been a return to form for Acuna, who missed parts of the last two seasons recovering from a torn ACL, but looks like the best player in baseball not named Shohei Ohtani over the first three months of the year. And with Atlanta sporting the best record in the National League, it would be an upset if anyone but the 25-year-old outfielder took home the NL MVP at season's end. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. In MLB history, a player has amassed 30 or more home runs and stolen bases in the same season 65 times. Barring injury, it would seem that Acuna is a lock to join the 30/30 club for the second time in his young career, and could become just the fourth player to join the 40/40 club. So with that in mind, how many of the 65 dual threats can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
