Triple Crowns

PostFri Oct 12, 2012 3:47 pm

In 1967, Yaz won a triple crown at 44-121-.326.

In 2012, Miggy won one at 44-139-.330.

In the intervening years, three players had seasons where they exceeded all three of Miggy's final stats.

A - name them

B - How many of these 9 numbers led their league?

C - How many of these 3 players were their league MVP?

Todd Helton is one of them, I think.

Yes, 3 for 3. Helton 2001, Pujols 2006, and Manny 1999. Surprisingly, only Manny led his league in any category (RBI - 165). Pujols was 2nd in the MVP voting (to Ryan Howard), Helton 9th (.336-49-146 was chump change in the year of 'roids), and Manny tied for 3rd.

Actually, Pujols only had 137 rbi in 06 and Manny had 44 hr (ties, not exceeds). So only Helton fits the above when asked who exceeded all three.
