The batting Triple Crown Award is one of baseball's most prestigous awards. A player must lead their league in home runs, runs batted in, and batting average to receive this award. A truly remarkable personal endeavor for any player. The 20th century saw only 13 Triple Crowns hit in 100 seasons.
The pitching Triple Crown consists of a pitcher who leads the league in earned run average, wins, and strikeouts. The first pitching Triple Crown was thrown in 1877 by Tommy Bond. In 100 seasons of the 20th century, fans witnessed 27 pitching Triple Crowns.
