Whenever there's a discussion of records that will never be broken, some smart a...lec brings up the unassisted triple play. Can he be refuted?

I don't understand the question. What's exactly is the record? -

Something like that. Most unassisted putouts on a single batted ball. . . ? Sorry, I thought it was something hard to top in a sense that was obvious, but I didn't figure out exactly what that sense was. My bad.Originally posted by brett View Post
Whatever the record is, it would take an unassisted quadruple play to break it.Last edited by Jackaroo Dave; 04-26-2012, 01:24 AM.Indeed the first step toward finding out is to acknowledge you do not satisfactorily know already; so that no blight can so surely arrest all intellectual growth as the blight of cocksureness.--CS PeirceComment

An unassisted triple play is not a record, it is a play. It's just like saying that every time someone hits a home run they are tying the record for most total bases on one hit.My top 10 players:
1. Babe Ruth
2. Barry Bonds
3. Ty Cobb
4. Ted Williams
5. Willie Mays
6. Alex Rodriguez
7. Hank Aaron
8. Honus Wagner
9. Lou Gehrig
10. Mickey MantleComment

Yes, it is like that: What's the record for most total bases on one hit? 4, held by many.
I'll rephrase it. How can a player make an unassisted quadruple play?Indeed the first step toward finding out is to acknowledge you do not satisfactorily know already; so that no blight can so surely arrest all intellectual growth as the blight of cocksureness.--CS PeirceComment

Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

Phillies vs Nats. Bases loaded, none out. Two strikes on the batter. Swing and miss by Harper on a pitch in the dirt, and the ball rebounds out to the pitcher Cole Hamels (who has received credit for the K already, correct?) while the runners take off. Hamels races towards home and tags the runner trying to score from third in a pretty solid collission. The poor carcher has passed out due to the heat. The earth being slightly off axis due to the Cubs being in contention as late as June 1, or perhaps the Harper's dislike for Hamels... But he and the other runners just keep going, each plowing into Hamels. He does tag out three runners, and Harper's K on the pitch in the dirt makes four.
No Calvinball or twelfth base needed."Herman Franks to Sal Yvars to Bobby Thomson. Ralph Branca to Bobby Thomson to Helen Rita... cue Russ Hodges."Comment
