Quest For the Crown

Back in 1967 greatness happened, yet no fan thought it would have been this long to see it done again. I'm talking about the Triple Crown of course. Carl Yastrzemski finished his great race with a .326 average, 44 homers and 121 RBIs, back then this was a less incredible feat though. The year before that it was also done, by Frank Robinson. Its been 45 years since Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown, yet there were 10 Triple Crown winners in the 45 years prior to 1967. Now in 2012 we see a potential Triple Crown winner yet again in Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera has a .333 average, 41 homers, and 130 RBIs. That gives him a 9 point lead in average, 7 RBI lead and only down 1 homer behind Josh Hamilton with 13 games left in the season. To think he doesn't have a shot is insane, especially when he only plays against the pitching staffs of Minnesota and Kansas City for the rest of the season. If Cabrera wants to make history he will need to finish strong though, but this is when he hits best. Numbers don't lie, Cabrera is statistically having one of the greatest season in MLB history. Fans all across baseball should watch this great race, as it may be a magical season in Detroit that could go another 45 years to see again.
