There are triple crowns for hitters and pitchers. The hitter's triple crown is won by the player that hits the most home runs, has the best batting average, and has the most RBIs. This is rarely done and the last time it was done, prior to the 2008 season, was the 1967 season. The pitcher's triple crown is won by the pitcher that has the most wins, most strikeouts, and lowest ERA.
