Question
last player to win the baseball triple crown? homers, average, rbi's

Answer
Kevin:

The last man to win the Triple Crown in either league? Yaz! Carl Yastrzemski turned the "Summer of Love" into his personal stage as he posted the best numbers of 1967 with a .326 average, 44 homers and 121 RBI. Since then, numerous players have come close to the coveted Triple Crown, but it remains the property of a quite exclusive club with only 14 memorable members.
