Some cynics have commented that, with two winners in two seasons, winning the Triple Crown of Shuffleboard is not as great an achievement as baseball's Triple Crown. The naysayers are wrong. There was a 45 year gap between Carl Yastrzemski and Miguel Cabrera. However, before Yastrezemski's Triple Crown in 1967, Frank Robinson won it in 1966, just a year earlier. Additionally, in 1933, the Triple Crown was won in both leagues...both by Philadelphia players! Philadelphia Athletic Jimmie Foxx won the AL Triple Crown while the Phillies' Chuck Klein won the NL Triple Crown.
What's the lesson? Winning a Triple Crown is a huge feat. But sometimes huge feats come in bunches.
