Alfonso Soriano hit 46 home runs and stole 41 bases in 2006 after a bitter standoff over moving to the outfield in spring training.
after hitting two home runs, including a grand slam, to bring his season total to 21 in an 8-4 win at Milwaukee. “I’ve never seen myself as much of a home run hitter.”Soriano hit a pair of homers in a 9-1 win over the Marlins, giving him 26 for the year.With the trade deadline approaching, Soriano, who was named to the all-star team for the fifth time, expressed an interest in remaining in Washington.
Soriano’s teammates decorated his locker with streamers and cheered when he walked into the visitors’ clubhouse in San Francisco after the trade deadline passed without a deal.“I’m happy, because the rumors are done already,” said Soriano, who finished the day with 32 home runs and 27 stolen bases. “So now, it’s more easy for me to focus and play every day.”
“They give me a base, so I take it,” Soriano said after Washington fell to 61-82. “If it’s not [a steal], I think I got plenty of chances to make 40-40.”Soriano singled to left in his first at-bat and stole second base without a throw from Brewers catcher Mike Rivera, who couldn’t get a grip on Dave Bush’s outside fastball. Soriano summoned a batboy to retrieve the base for him as the RFK Stadium crowd of 24,252 gave him a standing ovation.
“I knew he was capable of hitting anywhere from 35 to 40 home runs,” Robinson said. “The 45 has been a bonus, especially in this ballpark, and the 40 stolen bases, him running was a pleasant surprise early in the year, how aggressive he was and how successful. And then they just started to pile up and you wanted to see him do the 40-40 thing.”Oct. 1, 2006
