Triple Crown???
Albert Pujols has a shot at it this year...according to Fox Sports...Got me to thinking about the last one...I had to look it up and it was The Yaz back in 1967...There have only been 16 since 1878...Is there any accomplishment in any sport that is this hard to do???

This is certainly a great accomplishment, and I hope he does it.
He is the best MLB player right now !
Hitting a little white ball traveling at 90+ MPH with a bat is not easy to do, and then to do it consistantly is even harder.

I wonder if Ted Williams would have done it if he didn't lose those years during WWII ?

Imagine what his numbers would have been if he didn't go to the war.
I look foward to seeing him play in the future.
