Friday Trivia: Old Man and the Three (Bagger)
 

Who are the only 5 players in MLB history to hit 20 or more triples in a season at age 35 or older?

Wow, that's hard. I never knew anyone had 20 triples at age 35, let alone 5.

Sam Crawford seems like the obvious guess.

Honus Wagner

Sam Crawford ,
Oops already guessed

Ty Cobb

Ricky Henderson says he thinks Ricky done it.:)

Speaker

Pete Rose and/or Davey Lopes

It's probably going to be some 19th century players, based on the OP's tendencies. I'll guess Brothers and Connor.

Yeah, let's add Sam Thompson to the list of 19th c. guys

Some great guesses so far... and some fine work by Peter to narrow things down :D Correct answers given so far are listed below. Giving credit for "Brothers" despite the misspelling.

We're missing only one now (ordered by most triples):

1. Roger Connor (age 36) 25 triples in 1894
2. Dan Brouthers (age 36) 23 triples in 1894
3. ???
4. Sam Thompson (age 35) 21 triples in 1895
5. Honus Wagner (age 38) 20 triples in 1912

Keeler

Never mind, just checked. He isn't close.

Hint: the remaining player on the list accomplished the feat more recently than any of the others on the list.

Brock?

Brock does not make the cut.

Hint #2: This player won an MVP and a World Series but is not a HOFer.

Hint #3: 1922 is the year it happened.

Bump .. still need one more

Hint #4: Earlier in his career he won back to back batting titles.
