quit comparing 2012 to 1942, in the years when guys were winning triple crowns, the stolen base leader for the entire league was averaging 25 steals a year, Today (over the last 20 years) that number is 65 SB's, in the 80's the average was over 90 SB's a year for the leader (in both the AL and NL)
in the modern era, which I consider the time since Paul Markham started shooting, 2 people went 30-50, 0 won the triple crown, it is hands down a bigger accomplishment.
