40 homers, 40 doubles same season done 38 times, including 2 in 2015.

No, not both 2015 MVP, just one of them.  Guess and then look at the complete list below.  Nolan Arenado of Colorado is the non MVP 2015 40/40 guy.

Albert Belle in 1995 became the only 50/50 guy ever: 50 homers, 52 doubles.  Ruth is at the top of the list in homers: 59.  Among the 38 are 11 seasons with at least 50 doubles, led by Klein and Helton with 59 doubles.

Multiple times:
3: Gehrig, Pujols
2: Ruth, Klein, Greenberg, Belle, Helton, Ortiz

Slugging average:
high: Ruth 1921 .846
low: Soriano 2006 .560
six under .600
seven at least .700

League leaders:
14 led in homers.
12 led in doubles.
Leading in both: Hornsby, Greenberg, Stargell, Belle
15 led in SLG.
6 led in BA; Hornsby: .401.
Only Ruth led in SO: 93 in 1923.
2 scored fewer than 100 runs: Ortiz, Arenado.
Greenberg led in RBI: 184.
19, exactly half, led in RBI.
Soriano: only one with fewer than 100 RBI: 95.

OK, the 2015 40/40 MVP: Josh Donaldson, not Bryce Harper (42 homers, 38 doubles).  Pretty close, so Harper was a good guess.
