Some Juan Soto trivia from MLB Network: Soto is 1 of 6 players to have 100+ HRs at age 23 AND more walks than strikeouts. Most recent one other than Soto did it 67 years ago. All 5 are 1st ballot Hall of Famers. Who are they?

Here's one. Think career Triple Crown.
Which players finished in the Top Ten during the course of a season in all three Triple Crown categories the most times, meaning he finished in the Top Ten in a season in home runs, runs batted in, and batting average.
Here's a hint:
- Three players have done it 12 times
- Five players have done it ten times
- Three players have done it nine times
- Two players have done it eight times
- and Ten players have done it seven times.
23 players in all. How many of the 23 can you name?
