All three of those categories have put Robert alone in White Sox history this season along with Major League Baseball in 2023. He's the only player for the franchise to have at least 35 or more homers, 35 or more doubles, or 75 or more RBI in a single season. So far, Robert is the only one to pull that off in the majors this season as his fourth season with the White Sox continues to be his best.An American League All-Star, he's got a slash line of .265/.316/.543 along with a care...
