Trout never quite got to 10 triples (he had 9 twice).

Betts' high for triples was 8.

The two years Abreu had 10 triples, he only had 20 HRs. But he's a great guess.

Hornsby reached 10 triples an absurd 9x, but his high for steals was 17.

But you are in the right era for on of them.

Correct!

Chuck Klein had 15 triples, 20 steals, 38 HRs, and 50 doubles in 1932. So he actually overshot and made a 10-20-30-50--the only player ever to do so. He led the league in stolen bases and Homers that year, making him the 2nd person to do so after Cobb (I don't think anyone has done it since).

The last two players I am looking for were Red Sox.

Good guess, but the only year Mays hit 40 doubles, he only had 5 triples.

Good guess, but Ken Williams never got to 40 doubles.


The last two players did it as Red Sox and were more recent players than most listed so far.
