League By League Doubles Totals

Pete Rose holds the Major League record for most doubles hit in a single season by a switch-hitter. In Cincinnati during the 1978 season he hit fifty-one doubles.

On June 5, 1948, and June 6, 1948, Red Schoendienst appeared in three St. Louis games. He hit eight doubles during those three consecutive games and is the only player to ever accomplish that unique two-bagger feat.

The player with the fewest doubles hit that still led the National League was Hank Aaron of Milwaukee in 1956 with thirty-four doubles in one-hundred fifty-three games.
