  • Trout goes for triple crown?

    So with 2 days left he has steals and runs scored sown up, and a shot at the batting title which would give him the "running/scoring" triple crown.

    No seriously, Baseball Digest had an article in 1985 about the pitching, batting and scoring triple crown winners. Cobb was listed as having 3 scoring triple crowns.

    I found the source for the "Running" triple crown. It was Baseball digest Oct. 1985. I have it somewhere. That year of course Gooden won the pitching triple crown, and Henderson was in the lead in average, steals and runs around the time of the all-star break.

      So Cobb did it three times, It looks like George Sisler did it in 1922, Benny Kauff did it in the Federal League in 1914.

      Has anybody else won the "Running" triple crown?

      Ichiro in is rookie season and Henderson in 1990 came about as close as possible.
      My top 10 players:

      1. Babe Ruth
      2. Barry Bonds
      3. Ty Cobb
      4. Ted Williams
      5. Willie Mays
      6. Alex Rodriguez
      7. Hank Aaron
      8. Honus Wagner
      9. Lou Gehrig
      10. Mickey Mantle

        1. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)

            I realized the other day that George Brett didn't just win his third batting title sitting down in '90, but he robbed Henderson of the running/scoring triple crown. Where was the outrage?

              Billy Hamilton did it in 1891, and Ross Barnes in 1873.

              How about OBP/R/SB? We could call it the leadoff triple crown.

                Are those ballplayers? Hikers? Bridge Pros? The suspense is killing me.

                  Cobb twice, Benny Kauff once (Federal League) and Henderson in 1990.
