A player has led his league in home runs and RBIs 40 times since Yastrzemski won the last Triple Crown, but none has come closer to the batting title than Dick Allen did in 1972, when his .308 average fell ten points shy of Rod Carew's .318. Allen, who also led the league in walks, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and total bases, had to settle for the league MVP, as did the most of the players on this list.
