Trivia: Name the 3 guys who hit for the triple crown and have over 3,000 hits. Yaz is one of them Clowns at YES didn't give us enough time to guess. The other two were Ty Cobb & Najoie. I always forget about Yaz, as I believe he had the lowest batting average of any triple crown winner. |

Just like those scrubbing bubbles. "Get your bathroom clean, with Chad Green!"  I expect him to wind up on the 60-day IL at some point this year. Probably after he blows a few games… |

MLB had to make changes because the pitching was too dominate. |

All that bunting, small ball garbage lead to 0 runs.

Yaz won the triple crown in 1967, but it was in 1968 that he won a batting title hitting .301, which was the lowest ever. He hit .326 in 1967. |

He hit .326 in 1967. I knew Yaz was one of the answers. I thought, maybe Cobb, but he wasn't a HR hitter, but he triple crown anyway! I thought the other one was Frank Robinson. |

The actual stat on Yaz was the lowest ba for a league batting titlist. He hit .301 in ‘68. If I’m not mistaken, Frank Robinson’s .316 is the lowest BA for a triple crown in ‘66. Yaz hit .326 in ‘67… |
