Baseball's 40/40 Club Was Born

This past Saturday commemorated the birth of baseball’s most elite record setting achievement, the 40/40 club. On September 24^th, 1988 Jose Canseco collected his 39^th and 40^th steals of the season, becoming the first player in major league history to hit 40 homeruns and steal 40 bases in a single season. To date only four players have gained entry into the exclusive club: Jose Canseco, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Alfonso Soriano. Rap entertainment mogul, Jay Z, tributes his chain of 40/40 nightclubs to this outstanding display of power and speed. The 40/40 club’s flagship location in New York is set to reveal its new renovations at the grand re-opening in December.
