Did I just hit the triple crown...

OK, while we're nitpicking :), I've never heard this phrase. "Win the triple crown" (lead the league at season's end in batting average, homeruns, and runs-batted-in), or maybe more appropriate here: "hit for the cycle" (single, double, triple, and homerun in the same game) are more common baseball parlance.

Then there's hockey's "scoring a hat trick", but I'm not 100% sure what it means. Score three goals in one game, or does any triple combination of goals and assists also count?
