According to Nugget Chef on X, the triples by Jackson Chourio, Jackson Merrill and Jackson Holiday mark the first time since 1977 that three players 21 years ancient or younger have tripled on the same day. Almost 47 years ago, on August 27, 1977, Robin Yount, Jack Clark and Terry Puhl all tripled.
Will one of the Jacksons win the 2024 Rookie of the Year award?
Both Jackson Chourio and Jackson Merrill are in contention for Rookie of the Year honors, as they have spent the entire 2024 season in the major leagues. Jackson Holiday made his MLB debut early but only recently returned to the huge leagues. Both Chourio and Merrill are highly regarded defenders this year, with Merrill learning to play center field on the fly, and they are great offensively, as Chourio has a .763 OPS and is chasing a 20/20 season, while Merrill has an .808 OPS with 17 home runs and 66 RBI.
