The triple crown doesn't "sound" that good, but if you think about it... it basically means you combine two really good types of hitters. Most hitters who hit for contact/batting average generally aren't good power hitters. Most power hitters usually are "boom or bust" and have middling BA. To lead the league in both BA and HR is pretty incredible. And to even be in the discussion of doing it again this year is simply astounding. Not to get too ahead of anything, but by all accounts it looks like he will finish the season leading in BA and RBIs, and is currently 4 back of Davis for HR. It's not feasible to think he could do it again.

Such a ridiculous player right now. If, by some cruel act of some higher power, it came out that Cabrera was on PEDs of any kind I would actually just give up on baseball because the sport would not be fun for me anymore. HEARTBREAKING, if you will.
