Modern triple crown winners

The baseball triple crown (leading the league in Home runs/Runs batted in/Batting Average) is extremely rare. It’s only been done four times in my life and Aaron Judge has a chance this year. Judge has at least tied the league record for home runs; I don’t know of any triple crown winner who tied or broke a record for one of the three categories.

No player in MLB has won a Triple Crown and hit 60 or more home runs. Mickey Mantle came close in 1956. via @baseball_ref pic.twitter.com/zkvIRWVXBy
