timwakefield 68 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 1. Who is the only player in major league history to lead the league in triples, home runs and RBIs in the same year?Probably somebody from way back when. I'm gonna guess 2: Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb. 2. Who holds the MLB record for hitting into the most double plays in a season?Educated guess: Jim Rice.EDIT: Just looked it up, and Rice is correct. He's all alone at number one and number 2 on that list. Link to post Share on other sites
