Elly De La Cruz has 18 stolen bases, the most before May 1 since Deion Sanders in 1997 ?

Elly De La Cruz now has 8 HR and 17 SB in April

he’s the 1st player with at least that many HR & SB in a calendar month (since at least 1901) https://t.co/gMPSvgeBd7

I'm old and have watched A LOT of baseball greats back thru the years. Rose, Bench, Morgan, Larkin, Davis and so on. And not just Reds, Reggie Jackson, Ricky Henderson, Kirby Puckett, Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn, and the more recent guys such as Jeter.

And I don't think I've ever seen a player who truly has it all at the same level Elly does. Speed, power, quickness, arm, athletic ability. The guy could truly reset the record books.
