Will Votto Break The Doubles Record?



Joey Votto is currently on pace to hit 65 doubles this season, bringing him extremely close to breaking the 81-year-old record of 67 which Earl Webb set in 1931.  Those 67 doubles were 43% of the 155 doubles Webb hit in his seven year career.  Many have started on a pace to break Webb's record, but none have recently come close (Todd Helton had 59 in 2000).  I'll guess that Votto too will come up short, but it will be fun watching him try.
