The 22-year-old Stanton had 12 homers, 30 RBIs and a .343 batting average in May. Since 1920, the year RBIs were compiled on official scores for the first time, only one player younger than 23 had that many homers and RBIs and a batting average that high in a calendar month: Joe DiMaggio in July 1937 at the age of 22 (15 HRs, 43 RBIs, .430 BA).
