There's a career leaderboard (active players) where Adam Dunn currently sits at #1--what category?

Has anyone ever led their league in HR, BB, and K's?

(not the answer to clemenza's question)

I found the answer, but it's only since 1954 due to statistical black holes.

Jonah Keri @ Grantland:

"The Three True Outcomes Triple Crown is a much rarer feat than even the traditional Triple Crown, with only eight players turning the TTO feat, vs. 16 AVG/HR/RBI ones."

Dunn is third among active players in strikeouts, fourth in home run percentage, but first in most games played without appearing in the post-season (1,671 and counting):

If he were to fall off the list this year, Vernon Wells would take over the active lead; but he might fall off too, in which case Jack Wilson would move to #1. Who is Jack Wilson?

Here in Toronto, by the way, we've come to think of not making the playoffs as the Fourth True Outcome.
