The Triple Crown is an award giving to a Major League Baseball player who leads his respective league in the three main offensive categories; batting average, home runs, and RBIs or runs batted in. This award is prestigious because it has only been accomplished 17 times in Major League history, most recently in 2012, by Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers. Cabrera’s was the first since 1967 when Carl Yastrzemski accomplished the feat.
