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?
