	@BuddyBoy77 In 1933, each league had a player win the Triple Crown.

	Congrats to Cabrera. Double X, Yaz, The Iron Horse, yeah, he's in some great company.

	MasterNachosII:	Oct 4th, 2012 at 20:03 GMT		7 points
	How insane is it that there were three Triple Crown winners in two seasons (1933-1934), while there was a 45-year-gap before this one?

	OwningAllUNubes is certainly mucho macho for finishing so quick but four minutes really is too much time.

	@twarner50: A triple Crown winner in each league AND from the same city! Never happen again. Congratulations, Miggy!

	Viccolo, who's to say that it can't happen again?

	According to http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/history/rare_feats/index.jsp?feature=triple_crown Heinie Zimmerman won the Triple Crown in 1912.

	jodyjm13:	Oct 5th, 2012 at 03:57 GMT		2 points
	@bigdawg1: Curious that the MLB web site lists Zimmerman as having 103 RBI that year, giving him first place in that category by 1 over Honus Wagner, while the website baseball-reference.com gives him just 99 RBI and third place in the category. I'd love to know the source of that discrepancy. If he were listed (and he probably should be), it would definitely be a case of "Which one of these is not like the others?"

	I want to make sure I state this up front: I never was a Miguel Cabrera fan, and I have had a strong dislike for the Tigers for years. Now that that is clear, if Miggy doesn't win the MVP, then criminal charges need to be filed against every voter who didn't not vote him 1st place on their ballots.

	Timely quiz

	Thanks for accepting Carl's nickname. Congratulations Miggy

	@Pogues: Agreed. Mike Trout will have his days in the sun. But when only 10 different players have accomplished a feat, AND your team makes the playoffs, you're the MVP. Period.

	kps7179:	Oct 5th, 2012 at 13:32 GMT		3 points
	Also, it's pretty incredibly that the NL hasn't had one since 1937. You're telling me guys like Stan Musial, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Vlad Guerrero, Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols couldn't accomplish the feat? Shows how difficult it is.

	RubeWad:	Oct 5th, 2012 at 17:54 GMT		2 points
	Medwick actually had 154 RBI and batted .374 in '37 but great quiz! Ted Williams missed a third triple crown by .0001 of a point in batting average in 1949. Hard to believe he didn't get the MVP in either of his 2 Triple Crown seasons but most sportswriters hated him. Aaron missed '63 Triple Crown by about 3 hits and Musial missed '48 Triple Crown by 1 HR (to tie for the lead). Oh that elusive Triple Crown - congrats to Cabrera!

	how did i miss nap?! always see him as a pirate, but he like the answer to almost every hitting quiz pre-1908

	More on The Great Zim, for those who care: "[Heinie Zimmerman] won the 1912 National League Triple Crown at the time, but it was later found that the league's RBI totals were flawed and he has since seen it stripped from many references. Revised totals indicate that he finished that season with 99 RBI, 3 fewer than Honus Wagner and one behind Bill Sweeney." (from http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Heinie_Zimmerman#Biographical_Information (5th paragraph))

	@bigdawg1: The 19th century is, indeed, the 1800's (whether it started in 1800 or 1801 is an argument for another forum). However, I believe bas622 clearly stated in the title that POST 19th century players are correct. Nice try, though.

	@floydpink: That's like saying throwing a no-hitter is a stupid honor because Greg Maddux, Pete Alexander, Roger Clemens, Steve Carlton, and Pedro Martinez never threw one. Winning a Triple Crown isn't the sole (or even a significant) measure of a player's greatness, but all of the post-19th century Triple Crown winners were/are great players. Even Ducky Wucky Medwick, who deserves his spot in the Hall of Fame. (P.S.: Lou Gehrig did win a Triple Crown.)
