This is amazing. Those six players hit 19 homeruns and drove in the same number of RBIs as the year they hit the homeruns.
Example: Sandberg in 1984 hit 19 homeruns and drove in 84 runs.
Upshaw in 1984 also hit 19 homeruns and drove in 84 runs.
Horton in 1967 hit 19 homeruns and drove in 67 runs.
And so it goes.

Jimminy Christmas!
I was pretty sure this one would require a hint before someone got it. Did my subject line give it away? Or had you heard it before (possibly the same place I did)?
Nice work...

I hadn't heard this before. The subject line didn't give it away, although I assumed it was a hint.
Actually when I was looking up information on the players I thought the answer had something to do with their birthdays. Sandberg and some other player were born on the same date of the month, but in consecutive months. So I thought all the players had been born on the same day, but consecutive months.
In looking at the players information, I just stumbled across the answer.
I'm trying to figure out how you knew to ask the question.
Well done!
