Unconventional triple crown

[url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=9908494]Lee Caskey[/url] didn't manage to lead the league in AVG, but he did reach that mark in all 3 of the major counting stats -- HR, RBI, and R. It's very unusual to see the same player lead the league in both RBI/R and I'm actually not sure if I've ever come across it before.
He also finished top 10 in AVG, top 5 in SB, and 1st in triples.

Thanks for those lists. Not bad for Caskey to be in the company with those guys! At least as far as SimD code possibly can...
And though I'm unfamiliar with Stovey and Magee, there is 1 name on these 2 lists that doesn't quite seem to belong, haha. And I'm not even talkin about A-Rod, as he really was a fantastic player for a solid decade+.
