Triple Crown

The term Triple Crown is often used to describe the act of winning or completing the three most important or difficult or prestigious events, tournaments, or prizes in a given field. Originating in England in the mid-19th century in the sport of horse racing, it has spread to other competitive endeavors.

  • Triple Crown (American Football) A Triple Crown, in the National Football League, is an individual statistical achievement possible at a variety of positions on both offense and defense, all of which, however, ultimately require a player to finish a League Calendar Year, better known as a season, leading the NFL in three major statistical categories relative to his particular position(s).
  • Major League Baseball Triple Crown

    In Major League Baseball, a player earns the Triple Crown when he leads a league in three specific statistical categories in the same season. The term "Triple Crown" generally refers to the batting achievement of leading a league in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in (RBI) over the same season. The term "Pitching Triple Crown" refers to the pitching achievement of leading a league in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average (ERA).

    The term "Triple Crown" is typically used when a player leads one league, such as the American League (AL) or the National League (NL), in the specified categories. A tie for a lead in any category, such as home runs, is sufficient to be considered the leader in that category. A "Major League Triple Crown" may be said to occur when a player leads all of Major League Baseball in all three categories.

    Batting Triple Crown

    The term "Triple Crown" generally refers to the batting achievement. A batter who completes a season leading a league in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in (RBI) may be said to have won the "Triple Crown". As the term, unless modified, connotes the batting achievement, it may not be necessary to refer to this as the "batting" Triple Crown.

    Endurance racing (motorsport)

    Endurance racing is a form of motorsport racing which is meant to test the durability of equipment and endurance of participants. Teams of multiple drivers attempt to cover a large distance in a single event, with participants given a break with the ability to change during the race. Endurance races can be run either to cover a set distance in laps as quickly as possible, or to cover as much distance as possible over a preset amount of time.

    One of the more common lengths of endurance races has been running for 1,000 kilometres (620 mi), or roughly six hours. Longer races can run for 1,000 miles (1,600 km), 12 hours, or even 24 hours. Teams can consist of anywhere from two to four drivers per event, which is dependent on the driver's endurance abilities, length of the race, or even the rules for each event.

    Origins

    Coppa Florio was an Italian car race started in 1900, and renamed in 1905 when Vincenzo Florio offered the initial 50 000 Lira and a cup designed by Polak of Paris. The Brescia race visited the route Brescia-Cremona-Mantova-Brescia. In 1908, the race used the Circuito di Bologna: Bologna-Castelfranco Emilia-Sant'Agata Bolognese-San Giovanni in Persiceto-Bologna. Since 1914 most of the Coppa Florio was co-organized with the Targa Florio near Palermo, Sicilia, running four or five laps, 108 km each.

    Triple Crown

    by: Kevin Fowler

    So bartender set me up with the triple crown
    Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
    I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
    With my own version of the triple crown
    Well I'd gone to the racetrack to place my bet
    Saw my Ex-Wife and her new boyfriend
    Layin' down some money on the long-shot horse
    Using her alimony from our divorce
    I won some money at the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes
    The Kentucky Derby was the very next race
    Put it all on "Lucky In Love"
    He stumbled at the gate and he never got up
    So bartender set me up with the triple crown
    Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
    I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
    With my own version of the triple crown
    When It comes to the ponies I can pick 'em pretty well
    But if you're bettin' on a woman, son you never can tell
    Think you got a winner that'll stay in the race
    And you find yourself settlin' for second place
    So bartender set me up with the triple crown
    Double ain't enough when I'm feelin' this down
    I'll celebrate the misfortune I've found
