After Trout gets a swipe tonight he will be one of three members of the 30HR 50SB club EVER. Ignore the fact he is going to win a Gold Glove. Ignore the fact he didnt play until April 28, 20 or so games into the season. Ignore the fact the Angels have as many wins with Trout in the lineup as the Tigers do all season. Just based on 30-50 (if he gets it) he is more impressive than a Triple Crown (One Triple crown winner was Barry Bonds - probably on steroids). 30-50 is 30-50 EVERY season. There is no standard for a Triple Crown in terms of numbers. 15 people have won triple crowns in MLB history. It will be close but if you take everything into account Trout had the better season in my mind.
