Best Answer

It is not a formal award, but a recognition of a player who leads a league in batting average, home runs and runs batted in during the same season. The last player to achieve the feat was Miguel Cabrera of the 2012 Detroit Tigers, who batted .330, hit 44 home runs and drove in 139 runs. The last National League player to do it was Joe "Ducky" Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1937.
