Trivia time, baseball

Joe Mauer

You were 9 when I started listening to U2

 

You want a baseball trivia question...

How about a rules question for those of you who actually keep score and not rely on a PR guy spoon feeding you info.

A triple play has occured twice in baseball history this way (or so urban legend has it).

The ball was pitched and a triple play happened, but you could not write any numbers in your scorecard (6-4-3, 3-un, f-8, etc...).

How did it happen?

 

That just means you're as old as Jack Lambert.

 

Nah. I'm as old as Emmitt Smith, Ken Griffy Jr. and Brett Favre.

 

Mauer or Ichiro.

 

Ichiro .330

 

Not Mauer. (.326)

Not Ichiro (.330).

 

This is impossible. You have to account for the outs somehow. If not numerically, then by running out of the baseline and/or running past each other, but someone still has to account for those outs.

 

Why is this based on only 150 plate appearances, not even 1/3 of a season?
That's why some obscure guy could be the AL leader

 

So how do record running out of the baseline or overtaking a runner with a number?

The question is how does a triple play happen but no position numbers written on the scorecard.

 

Act of G-d?

 

It can't happen devil.
Every putout must be credited to a fielder.
