Looks like Ryan howard is on his way for his 5th year in a row with 40 plus home runs and 130 plus rbi's, Im sure not to many players ahve done it 5 years in a row. How or where can i dig up who else has done this..

Only 4 players have had 40 HRs and 130 RBIs in a season five times, whether those seasons were consecutive or not.

Lou Gehrig did it 5 times between 1927 and 1936.
Jimmie Foxx did it 5 times between 1932 and 1938.
Alex Rodriguez did it 5 times between 2000 and 2007.
Babe Ruth did it 10 times between 1920 and 1932, including 7 consecutive seasons between 1926 and 1932.

Therefore, Ruth is the only player to have 40 HRs and 130 RBIs in at least five consecutive seasons.

I found this at baseball-reference.com, which is where I do most of my stat scouring.

If you raise the bar to 45 HRs and 135 RBIs, Howard is one of only 4 players to have as many as 4 such seasons:

Only 13 players have had 2 such seasons. Here is the list of those 13: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... reit/X4krM
