In ATG7, there are 10 batting triple crown winners

1894 Duffy
1901 Lajoie
1909 Cobb
1922 Hornsby
1933 Klein
1934 Gehrig
1937 Medwick
1956 Mantle
1966 Robisnon
1967 Yastrzemski

If you count one of Ted Williams' monster cards as working for his triple crown seasons in '42 and 47 along with Stan Musial's 1948 season that makes 12 teams.

I propose an 80 mil DH league where each manager uses one of these triple crown season. This means drafting and keeping that triple crown card on their roster for the entire season.


The remaining hitters for each team may not exceed the crown winner in any of the 3 categories and in fact, may not come within a certain percentage in each category:

3 represents a 60 point differential in BA and a 30% difference in HR and RBI
2 represents a 40 point differential in BA and a 20% difference in HR and RBI
1 represents a 20 point differential in BA and a 10% difference in HR and RBI

BA,HR,RBI

Duffy: 3, 1, 3
Lajoie: 3, 1, 2
Cobb: 2, 1, 1
Hornsby: 3, 2, 3
Klein: 2, 1, 1
Gehrig: 1, 3, 3
Medwick: 2, 2, 3
Williams: 3, 3, 2
Musial: 2, 2, 2
Mantle: 1, 3, 2
Robinson: 1, 3, 1
Yastrzemski: 1, 2, 1

For example: Gehrig is 1, 3, 3 meaning no other teammate may come within 60 point in BA, and must be 30% lower in both homeruns and RBI (so 70% of Gehrig's totals)

Gehrig 1934: .363 49 165 so no teammate of his can exceed: .343 34 116


Randomizer for draft order for triple crowners and then it goes 12-1 twice in a 2-round supplemental draft to start filling out our teams. autodraft rest.

Are you sure you have the Gehrig example correct?

whoops, good catch rookssa, my bad.


As I explained, Gehrig's 3 respected numbers are 1, 3, 3 which means he is in the bottom 3rd in BA for these 12 players and in the top third for both HR and RBI thus:

no teammate of his can exceed .343 34 116

bump

Come on guys! This league will have best and rarest seasons in baseball history square off against one another to see which is truly best!

i think that if you listed what the max numbers of each triple crown winners teammates can be it might fill faster. i am curious and have a credit to burn, but i do not have the time to calculate the numbers.

example: lou gehrig team mates can not have a line that exceeds .343/34/116

Very well,


1894 Duffy - .380 16 102

1901 Lajoie- .366 13 100

1909 Cobb- .337 8 96

1922 Hornsby- .341 34 106

1933 Klein- .328 25 108

1934 Gehrig- .343 34 116

1937 Medwick- .334 25 108

Any Ted Williams- figure it out.... his numbers are 3, 3 and 2 so -.060, -30% HR's, -20% RBI's

1948 Musial - .336 31 105

1956 Mantle- .336 36 104

1966 Robisnon- .296 34 110

1967 Yastrzemski- .306 35 109


Should be fun guys, not to mention challenging. I think it'll really allow for these great cards to stand out amidst the increased realism this league should see.

Intriguing league. I'm down for it.

Do we mean to use Musial's '48 Card, since that one he was 1 HR off the Triple Crown and won MVP (he won MVP in 46, but was a good 7 HR off the pace of Kiner, behind Mize on his team, and only two ahead of Whitey Kurowski on the Cards... not even a Card's Trip Crown.. of course, neither was 48, because Mize did it again.
