Albert Pujols & The Decade Triple Crown: Another Angle

Derrick Goold wrote another fascinating blog post this week, this time on the idea of a decade Triple Crown. That is, players who lead in the traditional Triple Crown categories — batting average, home runs, runs batted in — over the period of any particular decade. Specifically, he looks at Rogers Hornsby, who in the 1920s was superlative in BA, HR and RBI in the National League in the 1920s. He then shows how another Cardinal great — Albert Pujols — is leading all competition in the 2000s.
