Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter, who leads the NL with 41 doubles, is close to becoming the first St. Louis player to reach 50 doubles since Albert Pujols had 51 in 2004 and first to lead the league since Pujols had 51 in 2003.
"That would be great," Carpenter said, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "It’s not something I’m thinking about because you can’t think about stuff like that. But if that would happen, that would be a cool thing."
