Unless something really weird happens (like Curtis Granderson somehow hitting 3 more HR in 2 innings), baseball has its first American League batting Triple Crown winner since Carl Yazstremski, making him one of a fraternity of 14. The National League hasn't had a batting Triple Crown winner since Ducky Medwick back in 1937. The last Major League batting Triple Crown winner was Mickey Mantle in 1956.
Good on 'ya mate. If we could shove the Sabermetrics people into the dust bin (they have a huge hard-on for Mike Trout and Wins Above Replacement) Cabrera would waltz to the MVP as a Triple Crown winner should.
