Which, strangely enough, is usually where current season discussion tends to have always gone since day 1 of this site.

10 times in 90+ years. It's historic.

By Labor Day, Miguel Cabrera wasn't leading in any of the 3 Triple Crown categories and now after that, he went on a tear!!!

In early August, Cabrera lead in RBI and was right there in HR. He was only way behind in BA, behind Trout (.345 vs .322).

But I always held out hope that Cabrera would pull it off. :crossfingers:

On September 3, Trout led the league in batting, Adam Dunn in homers and Hamilton in RBIs

Historic? Sure. But would he have won it if Hamilton didn't have all those freak injuries? Or if Mike Trout hadn't hit under .300 in August and September? Many things must fall into place for a player to win the TC. Sure, sometimes the player wins it entirely on his own (and doesn't have to rely on other players getting injured or slumping), but it's very rare ***coughLouGehrig1934cough*** .

I'm probably gonna come off as a jerk for this post, but I assure you, I'm taking nothing away from him. He had an amazing, MVP year. All the best to him.

If we factored in slumps, virtyually no record would be safe. would be a one or 2 month slump. a slump for a year or two, or what?

It's the first one to happen since 1967, so I'd say it's pretty historic. A rather pontequirious question to ask, in my opinion.

Its historic but on the other hand the numbers he put up would have won the triple crown only twice in the live ball era.

So yes it was a great season but maybe not quite an all time great one.
