Almost all of the career leaders in triples started their careers before 1920. The top players in career triples are:

309 Sam Crawford
295 Ty Cobb
252 Honus Wagner
244 Jake Beckley
233 Roger Conner
222 Tris Speaker

Among the top 50 players in career triples, I spotted only two in the post-WWII era  -- Stan Musial (19th, 177 triples) and Roberto Clemente (27th, 166 triples).

Among players who were active in the 1970s or later, the leaders in career triples are:

166 Roberto Clemente
147 Willie Wilson
141 Lou Brock
140 Willie Mays
138 Willie Davis
137 George Brett
135 Pete Rose
131 Brett Butler
131 Jose Reyes
127 Vada Pinson

Besides being a great hitter, Clemente played most of his career with Forbes Field  as his home.  Expansive outfield.
