Triple Crown

In well over 100 years of the great game, only 12 players can claim a batting triple crown (10 in the live ball era).  A triple crown signifies that you are 1) the best hitter in the league, 2) the most powerful hitter in the league, 3) the most productive hitter in the league, 4) durable & dependable.  Here are the winners, and you will notice there is no Babe Ruth, or Joe DiMaggio, or Stan Musial, or Willie Mays, or Hank Aaron, or Barry Bonds, or Albert Pujols.  I takes both a special year and significant luck.  It is one of, if not the rarest great accomplishment in all of baseball.  Cabrera's year does not take a back seat to many.
