BOSTON – Somewhat remarkably considering their rich history, the Yankees have produced only three seasons of at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases. Nearly a quarter-century has passed since the last one, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. is poised to change that.
One day after swiping his 30th bag , Chisholm launched his 29th home run as part of a three-RBI performance, powering the Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday at Fenway Park.
Bobby Bonds (1975) and Alfonso Soriano (2002, ’03) are the only previous Yankees to register a 30-30 season.
“It would mean a lot if we win the division with it – if I feel like I helped the team a lot and it helped us win,” Chisholm said after Friday's 4-1 win . “But if we don’t win the division with it, it wouldn’t mean as much.”
