Since we have nothing more substantial to discuss, I'll bring up the
following: Bryce Harper has a solid chance to have the first 300/300
(Times on Base/Total Bases) season in Montreal Expos/Washington
Nationals history.
He already has 331 Total Bases while he has 169 Hits, 123 Walks and 4
HBP's for 296 Times on Base. He just needs four more Times on Base to
reach 300.

The closest anyone has come to reaching 300/300 in franchise history is
Vladimir Guerrero in 2002 when he had 364 Total Bases (leading the NL)
but only 206 Hits, 84 Walks and 6 HBP's for 296 Times on Base total.

300/300 involves both of the most important jobs for a batter: reaching
base and advancing runners.
