this dreamboat (not mine) had wrapped up the HR and RBI titles to go with a .003 edge in the batting race after 162 games...but his team was tied for the wild card, and he took an 0-fer in the 1-game playoff (though his team won) to lose the triple crown by percentage points (although he still won the NL triple crown; with no interleague play, there should be bold-italics for leaders of both leagues)
If he's not too upset, it's because he already won a triple crown 2 years ago. Even more incredibly, in the interim season, another player won the triple crown...and that guy, with pedestrian ratings of A/B+ with B+ speed, is the most dumbfounding mystery I've ever seen in the sim:

[url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=10072406]Lyons[/url] absolute destruction of LHP propelled it to the triple crown in 2005, but it was excellent vs RHP too. Too bad Milwaukee wasn't able to ride that performance into the playoffs (missed it by one game).
WOW!

It's a shame [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=10072404]Philips[/url] didn't get that second triple crown win. Still, it had another phenomenal season.[url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=10072406]Lyons[/url] absolute destruction of LHP propelled it to the triple crown in 2005, but it was excellent vs RHP too.

What I wrote about this when we were first talking about it in our league
Well it definitely seems like home field (Milwaukee's stadium) has actually had a huge impact on his numbers. True, it only netted him a couple of more HRs per season but look at his slash lines and see his home/away difference.
His total career slash lines are .287/.361/.466/.827
Home Career: An impressive .304/.377/.500/.877
While his away numbers are
Away Career: A dismal .274/.345/.432/.778
That is a 30 point difference in BA (the same difference is reflected in his OBP, he has 7 more away walks), almost a 70 point difference in SLG, to total a 99 point difference in OPS. At home he is a star, a MVP candidate. On the road he is a borderline starter.
If you look at his 2001 MVP season, where he hit .308/.385/.502/.886 with 185 hits, 25 HR, 97 runs and 119 RBI, the difference is even more drastic. He had 300 ABs, both home and away.
At home he hit a ridiculous .363/.432/.623/1.055 with 58 runs, 109 hits, 18 HR and 71 RBI.
Away ( and remember he won MVP this year) he hit a pathetic .253/.339/.380/.719 with only 39 runs, 76 hits, just 7 HR and 48 RBI. So basically in his MVP season, at home he was the best player in the league (prorate his numbers in 80 home games to 158 games-the total games he played that year and he puts up 114 runs (+17), 35 HR (+10), 140 RBI (+21), and 215 hits (+30), and he was a bench player on the road.

If you look at Lyons home/away splits it explains a lot. The only year he was good on the road was in 2005.What I wrote about this when we were first talking about it in our league
