Almost Cooperstown
We're a father and son who love to talk and argue about baseball! Baseball is the professional sport that has the longest history so there is a lot to talk about! We launched Almost Cooperstown noting that baseball contains a long history of players that, for whatever reasons, have been shunned by the electors of the Hall of Fame. Consequently here are many 'Almost' players still waiting their turn for induction. With less than 1.4% of the now more than 23,000 players in the HOF, we feel there should be more players included. In these podcasts we also discuss current seasons & trends. Please send any messages to almostcooperstown@gmail.com.

History of the MLB Triple Crown Winners - a ticket to Cooperstown...Almost - Ep. 114

In the modern era (1900) there have been 14 triple crowns won by 12 players. None in the National League since 1937.
It's surprising there have not been more but that's how difficult it is to achieve. There have been some near-misses as well as controversy since the RBI was not even an official statistic until 1920.
