Triple Crowns Rule the '30s

After seeing just two Triple Crowns in the first 59 years of its existence, the SimNation Baseball League saw an astounding five Triple Crowns during the 1930's.

Hank Banning, playing in his first full SBL season, burst upon the scene for the Granite Falls Timberjacks in 1931, when he led the Pioneer League with a .334 average with 39 homeruns and 116 RBI.

Amazingly, Sim City first baseman Willie Evans equaled that feat in the Colonial League the following year, hitting .345 with 38 homeruns and 106 RBI.

After that, it was a Triple Crown trifecta for the great Sam "The Man" Crowley, who led the Pioneer League in batting average, homeruns, and RBI in 1935, 1937, and 1939.
  • 1935: .354, 43 HR, 114 RBI
  • 1937: .360, 33 HR, 121 RBI
  • 1939: .387, 42 HR, 147 RBI
