I think either Yount or Brett did that in the late '70s.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 11:50 (four years ago) link
Nope. Brett came real close in '79: 42/20/23/17--three SB short. Yount was 49/10/23/20 in 1980--he covered three of them but was 10 triples short, which isn't exactly close.

for some reason, wally joyner is one of my very first baseball memories, one of the very first names i remember being aware of. no idea why, because his angels wouldn't have played in any cardinals games i may have saw on my grandpa's tv in 86-88

looks like wally only hit 5 more HRs in the other 104 games he played in 1986
