George Burns, Tris Speaker, and Wade Boggs are the only three players to pull off this single season batting oddity.

I guess I could have mentioned that the title has nothing to with the answer.

Which George Burns ?
It doesn't matter as the title anagram has nothing to do with the answer.

I does have a lot to do with their ability to do one good thing while having an inability to do another good thing.

50+ doubles and less than 5 HRs in the same season?
How 'bout 50+ two baggers and single digit home runs in the same season?

Thanks to Ipitch and Rich for narrowing it down.
I believe it's 50 or more doubles and 3 or less home runs.
Tris Speaker 1921, 52 and 3
George Burns 1927, 51 and 3
Wade Boggs 1989, 51 and 3

That's been done by 13 other players besides these three.

And that is the correct answer.
The title anagram was just wordplay on one of the players names:
Gracie's Husband is not an HoFer.
