With the Western Major Baseball League season down to its final days, the race to history is on.
Regina Red Sox first baseman Mitch MacDonald is hunting for the Triple Crown of batting statistics, looking to become the first player in league history to reach the achievement.
Through 35 games, with 7 left to play, here's a look at MacDonald's numbers in the Triple Crown categories:
Batting average: .457 (1st)
Runs batted in: 37 (1st)
Home runs: 6 (2nd)
MacDonald should have the batting title when the season comes to an end with ease, leading teammate David Fox (.422) by a fair margin.
In the RBI race, MacDonald is four up on Fox and Jeff Harkensee (33).
Second place in home runs, the first baseman is just one back of Kyle Albright (7) in Swift Current.
Despite the chance for history, it's another honour MacDonald is concerned with.
“The stats are nice, but we're looking for wins and losses, and a chance for that championship. That's all that really matters.”
