Nice. There's only been 15 in Modern Baseball. This about the only one in the World Series by Bill Wambsganss in 1920. "In Game 5, Cleveland second basemen Bill Wambsganss turned an unassisted triple play. He caught a line drive off the bat of Clarence Mitchell, stepped on second base to put out Pete Kilduff, and tagged Otto Miller coming from first base. It was the second of 15 (as of 2022) unassisted triple plays in major-league baseball history, and it remains the only one in postseason play. Mitchell made history again in the eighth inning by hitting into a double play, accounting for five outs in two straight at-bats. The fifth game also saw the first grand slam in World Series history (hit by Cleveland's Elmer Smith) and the first Series home run by a pitcher (Cleveland's Jim Bagby, Sr.). And in that same game, Brooklyn outhit Cleveland but lost 8–1." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_World_Seriesen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Wambsganss#Post-MLB_careeren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_playWhile looking up him I came across this. The only time a team has turned two triple plays in one game."Holy me Gerald?" |
