Don't know if it's "officially" the closest, but in the striked shortened 1981 season, the Phillies' Mike Schmidt led the National League with 31 HR, 91 RBI and finished 3rd in the batting race with a .316 average. Albert Pujols is close in 2010. He's leading the league in homers and RBI and only .04 behind Joey Votto in the batting race.

Another close one was Dick Allen for the White Sox in 1972: 1st in HRs and RBIs, third in BA behind Rod Carew (.318 to .308)
