Most "Triple-Failures"

[GiambiJuice]

Which player holds the record for the most triple-failures in his career? The triple-failure is something I just made up. It's when a player strikes out, get caught stealing, and grounds into a double-play -- all in the same game. It's quite a trifecta of ineptitude.

So who holds the record with the most Triple-Failures in his career with 7?

(data goes back to 1916)

If it doesn`t turn out to be Jeter then it might be A-Rod.

That was lots of digging. He was the only player that I got up to with at least 4, so I just threw him out there. Looks like Rod Carew did it a few times as well.

Three players are tied for 2nd place with 6 Triple-Failures. They are: Sammy Sosa, Von Hayes, and Jeff Bagwell. Four players did it 5 times, sixteen players did it 4 times, forty-eight players did it three times.
