Season 3 - Episode 17 - Triple Crown? …Holy Cow, can this be happening THIS year? In case you are NOT aware, there is a player in Houston who has everyone talking about Mickey Mantle lately. Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros is having a career year for sure!
In his 8th year with the Houston Astros, Yordan Alvarez is putting it ALL together. He is leading in 11 offensive categories THIS year, not for his career but THIS year! At 29, he is threatening something that has NOT happened in 70 years! In 1956, Mickey Mantle in his 5th year with the Yankees led the Majors in ALL Triple Crown categories.
Mickey completed the year winning the Batting Title at .353.
Leading the Majors in HRs with 52
Leading the Majors in RBIs with 130.
He was the LAST player to win the Triple Crown and lead both the AL and NL in theses stats.
When was the last time a player even won the Triple Crown? Do you remember? Do you care? Are you ONLY into the new analytically stats thinking big deal…whatever. Sorry, but winning the Triple Crown is STILL a BIG deal!
