Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera turns unassisted Triple Play

Posted by Kelsdad

In the second game of tonite's doubleheader between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Indians, Tribe second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turned just the fourteenth unassisted triple play in ML history. With runners Kevin Mench (second base) and Marco Scutaro (first base) running on the pitch, Lyle Overbay hit a liner which Cabrera caught with a diving play. He then tagged second base for out #2, then turned and tagged Scutaro to retire the side. The play marks the third unassisted triple play in Cleveland history, with Neal Ball in 1909 and Bill Wambsganss in the 1920 World Series turning the first two.

The game is currently scoreless in the top of the ninth inning, making the play a possible game saver.

Congratulations to Asdrubal Cabrera. Turning an unassisted triple play is definitely not easy, and is definitely a sight to see. We've now seen two in just over a year (Troy Tulowitzki). And it was in the news thanks to yours truly before this lockerroom post.

Yeah, you do kind of deserve it. You may be number 3 on the all-time points list, but you're number 1 in my book.

Thanks, dude. But seriously, give the founders some credit. Think about it: if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be on this site. Thanks for the kind words though. 'Preciate it.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm (kind of) a rambler... if you haven't noticed. ;)

And for those of you who didn't know, there was a broken bat during the play with both runners going. It was a phenominal play.

That it was, Romi! It made SportsCenter as the number one play of the day on their Top Ten.

They'd be stupid NOT to put it for the #1 play.
