WASHINGTON - Waiting in Alfonso Soriano’s locker after Saturday night’s game was the final piece of what is surely going to be an impressive display: the stolen base that entered him into the elite 40-40 club.

Soriano became the fourth player in major league history to record 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season when he swiped second in the first inning of the Washington Nationals’ 8-5 win over Milwaukee. Soriano has 40 steals to go along with 45 home runs.
