Who were the last batter and pitcher winners of baseballs Triple Crown?”
There are many Major League Baseball players who have won a Triple Crown over the years. For those of you who are not sure what a Triple Crown is, it is either a batter or pitcher who leads their league in three major categories, at the end of a season. For a batter, the categories are home runs, runs batted in and batting average and for a pitcher, it is strikeouts, wins and earned run average. The very first batter to win a Triple Crown was Paul Hines back in 1878 and the first pitcher was Tommy Bond in 1877. According to Stats Baseball, where you can see the full list of winners, a batter hasn’t won a Triple Crown since the year 1967, with Carl Yastrzemski being the last to win that year.
