RE: multiple team triple crowns
Only two I know of who won multiple LEAGUE Triple Crown for HITTERS (BA-HR-RBI):
* Rogers Hornsby 1922 and 1925
* Ted Williams 1942 and 1947
The last to win a hitters Triple Crown was Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
But there have been MANY multiple-winners of a League Triple Crown for PITCHERS (Wins-SO-ERA):
* Christy Matthewson 1915 & 1908
* Grover Alexander 1915-16-17-20
* Sandy Kofax 1963-65-66
* Walter Johnson 1913-18-24
* Lefty Grove 1930-31
* Lefty Gomez 1934 & 1937
* Roger Clemens 1997 & 1998
* Pedro Martinez 1999 (& 2000?)

RE: multiple team triple crowns
My correction on Pedro Martinez: he did win "Pitchers Triple Crown" in 1999 (2.07 ERA, 313 strikeouts and 23 wins) but in 2000 he led only in ERA (1.74) and SO (284). His 18 wins in 2000 ranked fourth in the AL. So no multiple TC for Pedro yet.
