Come to think of it, I imagine Gehrig did that more than twice as well.

I would bet the Williams, Mantle and Bonds are also on that list.

I'd imagine Albert Belle, A-Rod, Manny and Frank Thomas did it at least once.

Just checked: Manny did it once, Nomar just missed


Edit: Mays, Aaron both missed

DiMaggio (Joe) must have done it.  And more than once I'd guess.

Cobb might have snuck in.

Norm Cash is  my guess from those unmentioned.

I figured Ruth, Gehrig, Williams, and Bonds.

George Brett would be a long shot.

Rogers Hornsby?

Hornsby three times, as I look at it.

Norm Cash made it in 1961.

George Brett in 1980.

Just putting this here for ease of finding it:

Todays quiz:


Mookie Betts has a chance to do something only 12 others have done in MLB history

.350 BA
.425 on base %
.650 SLG%

Who are the other 12?

Who are the only 2 two to do it twice (one easy, one tough)?

I tried Carew, Boggs, and Carty. I really didn't think Carew would have a chance.

Boggs (.588) and Carty (.584) didn't make it on their slugging.

Carew was a bit further back at .570 or .446 in his two years in which his AVG and OBP made it. .446 is amazingly low for .364 AVG.
Boggs had three other years that made it except for slugging.
