David Wright Nearing Impressive Doubles Feat

With two doubles in yesterday's loss to the Nationals, David Wright now has 38 on the season. With two more, it will give him his 5th consecutive season with 40 or more doubles, a very rare achievement.

He only has 4 games left to reach the mark, so in a season with nothing left to root for, it gives us another reason to watch.

From what I can gather, the major league record for consecutive 40 or more doubles in a season is seven.

Wade Boggs had 40 or more doubles in a season from 1985 to 1991.

Joe Medwick, one of the games all-time great hitters, also had seven in a row from 1933 to 1939.

Todd Helton had five in a row from 2003 to 2007.

David Wright is next at four, and he is the only one with an active streak of more than two seasons.
