No, the last triple crown winner in MLB was Miguel Cabrera in 2012. Carl Yastrzemski won in 1967. The last NL Triple Crown Winner was Joseph “Ducky” Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1937. Rogers Hornsby (1922 and 1925)and Ted Williams (1942 and 1947) are the only players to win a Triple Crown twice.

[T]he last triple crown winner in MLB was Miguel Cabrera in 2012.

Yaz's TC had an asterisk (he tied for the AL lead in HRs), but he was never treated the way Frick treated Maris in 1961. Frank Robinson in 1966 was the last undisputed MLB TC winner, leading outright in all three categories.

Would AP's TC have an asterisk if he was in a DH for the win in the Belmont?
