Yeah, thought so.
I've gone down the Jim Rice rabbit hole before. He came one triple away from doing it two seasons in a row. He had 30 triples in a two year span, and 38 in a 3 year span.
Don't know how common it is, but he had far more career triples, then he had stolen bases.
Jim Rice has more career triples then Mickey Mantle.
