Grandpa Roy Question



Hey guys, Drew back here. After many posts today I will finish with our next question. I also changed the image on the top of the blog, showing newer packs, not from last year. It's more bland but I like looking at new packs. Also I just bought 2 things on eBay tonight, one thanks to Paul from Carl Crawford Cards, a 30 card lot of the 1994 Classic Capitol City Bombers Minor League Team set, which includes a card of my former teacher, Al Hammell. The second thing was a 50 card lot of Nick Swisher, hopefully good stuff, the guy's picture was of a sample pack! Anyway, here's tonights question:

The Triple Crown is a very rare event in baseball. Not many people get to cherish the position, but a few cherished it for a long time. There are 4 players in MLB history who had led their league (American/National) in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in (Triple Crown) in a single decade. One of them is Albert Pujols, who has led the National League in batting average, homers, and rbi's in the 2000's decade. Name the other 3!

1: Albert Pujols, 2000-2009
2. Rogers Hornsby, 1920-1929: Spastik Moose
3. Ted Williams, 1940-1949: Dan (The Other World)
4.

ONE MORE!!!

As always, please don't cheat, and remember these points are added to your points on the scoreboard, top 5 people with the most points win a prize at the end of the year. No using baseball refrence or almanac as it just is a way of cheating. And don't name more than 1 at a time unless us collectors need help with the question. Thanks and good luck!

  1. Hmm. I'm going to say...Rogers Hornsby. I was gonna say Ted Williams but the war probably hurt his chances in counting stats.

  2. I'll say Lou Gehrig and Willie Mays.
