	Triple crown (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the popular imagination, the Triple Crown is often thought of as the epitome of excellence in batting or pitching (even though sabermetric categories claim to be better measures of a player's productivity than the traditional Triple-Crown categories).
		Generally, when the "Triple Crown" is referred to without specifying batting or pitching, the batting Triple Crown is meant.
		The most recent Major League Triple Crown Winners were Mickey Mantle in 1956 for hitting, and Dwight Gooden in 1985 for pitching.

	Next Triple Crown winner: horse racing or baseball? - Sports
		Horse racing is a sport that isn't usually talked about much by the majority of the population, though there is a cult group that loyally shows up at the local racetrack on a daily basis (usually unemployed and wearing the same clothes as the day before).
		Though there have been 11 Triple Crown winners in the history of the sport, the last pony to do it was Affirmed in 1978, when the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" topped the singles charts.
		Every year the mismatched comparison of horse racing and baseball is made because the national pastime also has a Triple Crown -- finishing first in the league in home runs, batting average and runs batted in all in the same season.

	Triple Crown - Hitters
		The Triple Crown is one of the most difficult feats for a baseball hitter to accomplish - it means leading the league in the three most significant hitting categories: home runs, RBIs and batting average.
		Few power hitters can hit for average well enough to lead the league in average; similarly, few of the hitters who hit for average can also hit for power.
		Only one Triple Crown winner has also led the league in steals - Ty Cobb, in 1909, effectively accomplished a "Quadruple Crown."
