What is a “triple crown” in baseball? It can refer to one of two things:
- It could be a batter who at the end of the season is at the top of the league in home runs, the batting average and the number of runs batted in, or…
- A pitcher who ends the season at the top of the leagues for strikeouts, wins and their earned run average.
In order to get a Triple Crown in baseball you have to be pretty amazing! Given that it is so hard to do, it rarely occurs, and it hasn’t happened for a batter since 1967!
There is also a Triple Crown league.
