More triples

Stats Geek Brian O'Neill looks at triplin' Jack Wilson. He also runs down the history of triples with the Bucs. Back when a diamond was a diamond and socialists could run for President, one Chief Wilson rolled more than a few to the 462-foot centerfield wall at Forbes Field.

I wonder how many of Jack Wilson's triples were feats of derring-do. The guy has a reputation for being hard to stop on the basepaths. He's more like a feisty jackrabbit than a barrelling gorilla (Wagner), but he gets in there nonetheless.
