The two most recent I noticed:

Randolph 1979: 13; also 11 in 1977

Mantle 1954: 12; also 11 in 1955, which led the American League, tied with Yankee teammate Andy Carey.

Mantle and Mays continue to amaze.  Monday, November 12, 2012

I had known for a while that in 1955 Mickey Mantle led the American League (AL) in both triples (3B) and home runs (HR).  He tied teammate Andy Carey with 11 3B and belted 37 HR.

I later noticed that cross town rival Willie Mays had done the same thing in 1955 with the New York Giants: 13 3B, 51 HR.  Mays tied Dale Long in 3B.

Note: Brett Gardner led AL in 2013 with 10 Triples.

Way more Triples at Home for season leaders 1903-1926. Why?  Saturday, May 25, 2024
