Gone are the days of the Ruth era and Gehrig disease in baseball. Men of action and great prowess are spread out throughout the league. They show rare form and excellent achievement with their talent. The Gold Glove is a hallmark for outstanding achievement for defense each season. Hitting for the Triple Crown is one of the toughest awards to reach and capture. In order to obtain it a player has to be on his game. That person has been real consistent, nearly getting a hit every time out or at least every other game. When someone like Albert Puljos hits for the cycle it definitely helps.
The same goes for Josh Hamilton when has a 5-hit performance and up to 8 RBIs. If there is close to achieving the high award it's the Texas star outfielder. For a while many eyes were on the Boston Red Sox. David Ortiz had a good chance at one time. I'd put my money on Hamilton though considering he stays healthy to win it. I know the race will tighten up in the AL West with such competitive forces there.
So far Josh Hamilton has already compile over 50 RBI with a high batting average well above .300. That's talent not to be denied. He'll have to keep hitting with the best pitching the Rangers face each week. Sticking to a regiment and good eye at the plate will be the best answer for anyone going after the Triple Crown. The same is understood for anyone going after the prestigious award in the NL too.
