Nobody on your list. I suspect Ted williams has a better chance of doing it again then any of those guys.

I though much the same earlier in the season, but Derrek is keeping up the pace, I think he has a real shot, he has the even-temperment that is paramount to actually have a shot, what with the intense media that he would face if he was still in the hunt for the triple crown in september.

No offense to Teddy, but he had a far easier time in the 40's getting those crowns, it is FAR more difficult now...

Syco-

I agree it would be more difficult to do it currently. I also think your right about Lee having the best shot but with so many guys who hit homeruns. I dont see a player leading the league in both AVG. and Home runs in one year. But being a CUB really hurts Lee's chances are dismal.

It is a longshot, no doubt, I hestitate to give him a 5% chance in fear that it's too generous, but that's more than most have most seasons...

Lee, has the best shot. So far, so good. He just needs to keep his focus, and he will finish strong.
