Baseball Has A Triple Crown Winner
For the first time in 45 years, Major League Baseball has a triple crown winner, leading the league in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. Miguel Cabrera has done it for the first time since Carl Yastrzemski won it leading the Boston Red Sox to the pennant in 1967. The previous year, Frank Robinson won the triple crown leading the Baltimore Orioles to a World Series championship. After the back to back winners it took a couple generations until the Cabrera feat. Cabrera's Detroit Tigers are Central Division champions. The last National League triple crown winner was Joe Medwick of St. Louis in 1937.
