Winning a Triple Crown is one of the rarest feats in all of baseball. Very rarely do we even see one player contending for the average, home run, and RBI titles.
And you’re telling me that there are three contenders in the National League this year?
Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez, Cincinnati’s Joey Votto, and St. Louis’s Albert Pujols are all in the hunt for the Triple Crown. And if none of them wins the honor, it will be one of them that keeps another from winning.
All season long, these three have been hitting absurdly for average and power.
Do they even have a chance? Can it really happen for the first time since 1967?
Here is a look at each contender’s chances at the Crown.
