I was at the game tonight when the Indians turned a 5-4-3 triple play (the rarity of it being demonstrated by the fact that I wrote 5-4-3 double play). But it was not a DOUBLE play; it was a triple play. It was a whole innings worth of outs in one swing of the bat. Double plus good. I was very excited to have witnessed it in person.

Double plus good, indeed.
Or triple plus good, I suppose.
I was at a Mets game a few years back where they turned a triple play. It happens so fast you don’t even realize it. the other team had 2 on, and none out then BAM inning over.
What a great sport
