Baseball - Great play in yesterday's A's game
« on: April 28, 2017, 07:48:37 PM »
One that everyone in the park or watching the game on TV will remember.

btw, anyone out there ever been treated to the rare sight of a triple play? Back in June of '79, the A's gave me two in four days!

EDIT - Just looked it up and it was actually in five days. June 19 - 23

Ah, those were fun days.
They even recently honored him and now call the coliseum field "Rickey Henderson Field" . Of course, now with the Raiders leaving, A's owners promise a new field, but are still deciding whether to keep the present location or not.

Yes, Red Sox in 2011; 2 men on, grounder to third, step on the bag, throw to second, throw to first. I'm not sure if a triple play or an inside the park homer is more fun to watch.

Well, usually inside the park homeruns, are gifts from the defense involving a misstep or two, a la little league. Triple plays, though almost always involving a runner at first and second, require the stars to line up perfectly, but can do so in a multitude of patterns.

Speaking of fantastic baseball plays...I spoke to Otis Nixon on the phone yesterday.  Very few plays beat his catch.
