[UtterChaos]

Mantle 1955.
Mays 1955.
Bottomly 1928
Tommy Leach 1902.

That's all of them.
1955 Mantle - 11 triples (tied Andy Carey) and 37 homers
1955 Mays - 13 triples (tied Dale Long) and 51 homers
1928 Bottomly - 20 triples and 31 homers (tied Hack Wilson)
1902 Leach - 22 triples (tied Sam Crawford) and 6 homers

[KCBOOMER]

Tip O'Neill 1887.

[UtterChaos]

Tip O'Neill 1887.I only went back to 1901. Otherwise you'd have to add Harry Stovey (1880 and 1891) as well.
