A Willingness to Amend the Triple Crown Shows Steve Phillips is Not the Biggest Douchebag in Baseball
The ESPN analyst Steve Phillips said: "It’s a great concept, and I’m sold on it. It tells a clearer story on who the best hitter is. Home runs measure slugging ability, R.B.I. measure run production, but on-base is a better measure than batting average."
(Dick Allen would've won this mythical Crown in 1972. Yes, THAT Dick Allen.)

Sympathy post. Hee.
But why not just go OPS or OPS+ and be done with it?

Small steps, I guess.
Phillips addresses it in the article. (I bet you didn’t read the whole thing. But thanks for removing the bagel from my FS.)
So you think Zambrano has more value than Peavy? You are an idiot.

Why not just give it a different arbitrary silly name? The Three Rings of Swing? The Tripple Pointy Pope Hat?
…And Hawk hates you for trying to take away Yaz’ “last tripple crown winner” status.
