From Twinstrivia.com :
“The other day SABR member Clem Comley, who also follows basketball, wondered who the triple doubles leader might be in baseball history. His search defined a ‘baseball triple double’ as a player who had 2 or more runs, 2 or more hits or 2 or more RBIs in a single game. He used Retrosheet (1913-2014) in his calculations and determined that the all-time baseball leader in triple doubles was Babe Ruth with 247. Lou Gehrig was second with 204, Willie Mays and Alex (A-Rod) Rodriguez were tied for third with 191 and Hank Aaron was fifth with 188.”
