He married Yannie Alonso, the younger sister of San Diego Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso, in the spring of 2013.
He started the season on a record-setting doubles pace: by the end of May, he had hit 25 doubles, the most in the majors, and he was on pace to hit 73 doubles for the season if he kept this up.
Earl Webb held the all-time single-season record with 67. Manny, on the other hand, wasn’t just slamming doubles.
He also led the majors in hits with 79 and was hitting .336 while still only 20 years old, cementing his status as one of the best hitters in the game.
He was named to the All-Star squad for the first time, despite the fact that he was just 21 years old when the nomination was made.
While his doubles rate had slowed since his hot start, he still became the youngest player in big league history to hit 50 two-base hits in a season on September 14th.
Unfortunately, his season was cut short a week early on September 23rd when he twisted his knee badly after stepping awkwardly on first base in the 7th inning of a crucial game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
With 51 doubles, 88 runs scored, 14 homers, and 71 RBIs, he finished the year with a batting line of .283/.314/.432.
It appeared at first that he had ruptured some ligaments in his knee, putting his availability for the next season in doubt, but it turned out that the operation he needed came with a four- to six-month rehabilitation period.
