Lou Gehrig just barely won my first hitting triple crown in the 1929 season, he edged Harry Heilmann for the batting crown .378 to .376 and tied Cristobal Torriente for the RBI crown with 150, he won the HR crown easily over Al Simmons 49 to 29.

Ed Walsh & Walter Johnson are the only pitchers to winning the triple crown. Ed Walsh during the 1908 season, came close a couple of other times but usually fell short in the wins category but played for some pretty bad teams during his career. Walter Johnson has won 3 (1916, 1918, & 1919). He almost won 5 straight (1916-1920) but finished second in era in 1917 Jeff Tesreau led the AL with a 2.00 to Johnson's 2.09 and in 1920 finished second in strikeouts to Dick Redding 260 to 211.
