The Triple Crown is one of the most impressive feats in all of baseball. To achieve this as a hitter a player must lead his respective league in batting average, home runs, and RBI.
To date, there have only been 27 instances of a player accomplishing this feat. The most recent winner was Miguel Cabrera in 2012 while he was playing for the Detroit Tigers. However, one certain MLBbro came very close in 2022. That player is none other than New York Yankee All-Star Slugger Aaron Judge. Fast forward to 2024 and the MLBbro is in striking distance again.
In 2022 Aaron Judge won the American League MVP in historical fashion, breaking the previous American League home run record held by Roger Maris. Judge’s 2022 season was even more incredible as he led the league in home runs and RBI but ultimately fell short in his attempt at a Triple Crown by finishing just .05 points behind the batting champ that year, Luis Arraez. The MLBbro is back at it in 2024 and is once again taking a shot at the historic milestone.
The Yankee captain is solely focused on bringing the team their first World Series championship since 2009, but his play being stellar is the best way to do that. The MLBbro has already surpassed Roger Maris as an AL home run leader, this year he hopes to join him as not only a two-time MVP but also a champion.
