When a player leads the NL or AL in batting average, home runs and RBI, that's the triple crown. it happens very, very rarely.

The Triple Crown is "awarded" to the hitter who leads his own League in all three (3) of these hitting statistics: 1: Home runs. 2: Batting average. 3: RBI=Runs batted in.

All three (3) categories must be led or tied at the end of the season in order to be part of a Triple Crown performance. Few players have ever come close and when a player simply leads in two (2) categories it is often a noteworthy achievement.
