I'm rooting against this for Kemp. Nothing personal for the guy but it's been so long since someone did this I'd rather see it from a real proven superstar. Maybe Kemp will be that type of player but as it stands he is a talented player just having a career year. Not to mention that it is a super down year for offense and hot numbers would not even be that impressive.. 330 avg is very low to league league.. 38hrs and 120 rbi normally wouldn't be league leading type of stats. Pujols puts up triple crown numbers like that every year. As have many other players.
When it finally happens I want some real triple crown numbers. 350 / 48 / 140

Great range?great range
Not too mention the main competition in each category would be well ahead and this wouldn't even be talked about if it wasn't for injuries.
Average- Reyes was way ahead before getting hurt, now barely ahead.
Home Runs- Pujols missed a few weeks or would be well ahead
RBI - Howard was ahead as of a couple weeks ago until he started sitting out most games since Phils have everything locked up
If Kemp wins it it will be truly through the backdoor. Like a runner runner flush in poker after getting it in with the worst or set over set.
