MLB Trivia: Triple Troubles of Today

The MLB record for triples in a season is 36, and it was set all the way back in 1912 by a lefty named Chief Wilson. Interestingly enough, among the top 21 performances for triples in a season, all of them were achieved prior to 1926. But among the players tied at number 22 on this list of most triples in a season (with 23 triples), is one currently active player. Can you name him?

My Baseball History

The first year that I really started paying attention to Major League Baseball was 1990. I was 10 living in Ohio and my favorite team was the Cincinnati Reds. As it turned out, the Reds started that season 9-0 and the excitement pulled this 10-year-old boy along for the ride. I remember quite a bit from that season, including the Reds' eventual sweep of the Oakland A's in the World Series.

The lesson I took from that season was that dreams can come true. Of course, given what's happened to the Reds in the many years that followed, I've learned that nightmares can come true too. ;-)

I've since moved to Chicagoland and now follow the White Sox, Cubs, and Reds. In general, I'm just a baseball fan who enjoys the beauty of the game no matter which teams are playing.
