What is the baseball equivalent of a triple double?

[InsomniacInkRoss]

The girlfriend didn't know what a triple-double was, I tried to think of a baseball equivalent, but really couldn't. The cycle was the first thought but it is far more rare than a triple double. Any thoughts?

3+ hits, 3+ rbi, 3+ runs scored maybe?

 

or maybe 4+/4+/4+

 

rbis are like assists and runs are points, so thats pretty close...

A triple followed by a double?

 

Three doubles?

A stellar day on the mound, with the bat, and in the field. Only CC Sabathia has a chance at it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Don't rule out Gallardo!

[crewcrazy]

I'd probably go with having a single, double, and home run in the same game -- those games probably happen a bit more frequently than hitting for the cycle, but are still impressive days.

 

Of course, there's always the 3TO. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

CC pitching a complete game and hitting the winning homer. Oh yeah, done that.

 

Hawing stole my thunder.

Yeah, sorry.

I was thinking of those couple of bare-handed grabs CC had in 2008. I know the last one was September 28, but if the first one were the same day as his CG and game winning home run (which I believe was July 13), that would be some kind of trifecta.

maybe going 4-4 or more?

[Diskono]

10+ hits, 10+ Ks (pitching), 10+ putouts. But really, I suppose it could be 10+ of any stat, sort of like the rare steal-assist-turnover triple double in basketball.

 

Whichever way, hasn't been done in awhile.

10+ hits hasn't been done, ever, in a nine-inning MLB game. 10+ putouts for first baseman is pretty routine.

 

My suggestion would be something like: 4+ hits, 2+ SB's, and maybe something with assists (greater threshold for IF's, lesser for OF's).
