A-Rod on his way to a "different" 30-30 club
With 18 errors and 21 homers through Saturday, Alex Rodriguez is within striking distance of a rather unique record. The "30 homer/30 ERROR" club is even more exclusive than the "30 HR/30 SB" club.
Here are the members, with their position, season of infamy, and homers and errors for the year.
POS Name YEAR E HR
2B Rogers Hornsby 1922 30 42
2B Rogers Hornsby 1925 34 39
3B Eddie Mathews 1953 30 47
SS Ernie Banks 1958 32 47
3B Harmon Killebrew 1959 30 42
3B Tony Perez 1969 32 37
3B Tony Perez 1970 35 40
2B Davey Johnson 1973 30 43
3B Pedro Guerrero 1983 30 32
3B Troy Glaus 2000 33 47

I would've guessed Butch Hobson was in this group, but he just missed(30 HR in 1977, 43 E in 1978).
Fascinating list.
