Elly De La Cruz Joins 20-60 Club

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz made history on Wednesday by becoming the fifth player in Major League Baseball history to achieve at least 20 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season. He joined this exclusive club by stealing his 60th base in the fifth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays, subsequently scoring the game-tying run. De La Cruz, who is only 22 years old, has recorded 22 home runs this season. He joins an illustrious group that includes Joe Morgan, Eric Davis, Rickey Henderson, and Ronald Acuña Jr. Despite a slump in the previous 11 games, his recent achievements underscore his potential and importance to the Reds' future. With 35 games left in the season, De La Cruz could potentially extend his stolen base total even further.
