2B: 34 (4)
3B: 11

Without his calf injury, which cost him three weeks of playing time, Pat would have ranked significantly higher in the counting stats categories. For instance, he was leading the league in runs, doubles, and steals when he was injured, and was only one RBI off the league lead.
George Moriarty, who edged Pat for the batting title, was named the American League's Most Outstanding Batter. Moriarty hit 7 homers, knocked in 123 runs, and tied O'Farrell with 58 stolen bases. It's quite possible that his injury cost Pat a serious shot at the award.
