  Triple (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball, a triple is the act of a batter safely reaching third base by striking the ball and getting to third before being made out, without the benefit of a fielder's misplay (see error) or another runner being put out on a fielder's choice.
Because a hit only counts as a triple without a fielding error or a fielder's choice, triples have become exceedingly rare in Major League Baseball.
This combination of power and speed is rare, and combined with the trend for ballparks with smaller outfields has led to the career and season statistics for triples being dominated by players from the early history of baseball.

 Triple crown (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Major League Triple Crown is to be distinguished from the American League and National League Triple Crowns.
To win the Major League Triple Crown, the player must lead the entire majors in each of the three categories and not just his individual league, making the Major League Triple Crown significantly more difficult to attain.
The last player to win the Major League Triple Crown in hitting was Mickey Mantle in 1956, while the last person to win the Major League Triple Crown in pitching was Dwight Gooden in 1985.

 IGN: Triple Play Baseball Review
Oddly enough, the sport that has consistently been the slimmest when it comes to features and a general attention to detail from EA Sports has been baseball, which just so happens to be a sport that attracts the highest number of fans that are hardcore into stats and other intricacies of their favorite pastime.
Triple Play has all of your basic play modes -- quick game, exhibition, season, and playoffs -- and even has a tremendously fun take on the standard home run derby in its Big League Challenge, but nothing is really offered here much beyond the customary stuff.
Fans of the Triple Play Series that preferred to play with the cursor off in the past, where you only rely on timing and the pressing up on the digital pad for a home run swing, will find that this option isn't in the company's first PS2 incarnation of the series.

 Triple Play 2002
My biggest objection to Triple Play is that the game being simulated isn't baseball, or at least the professional baseball that I as a red-blooded American male have wasted a considerable part of my life watching.
Baseball, no. On the other hand, there's a marked lack of doubles or triples, so most games consist of strings of singles punctuated by home runs.
Of course, this means that there's none of the subtle batter/pitcher duel that's so important to real baseball, since nobody seems to get fooled by a changeup, and pitches on the corners seem to be hit as easily as pitches grooved down the middle.
