Baseball's First Unassisted Triple Play

Back in 1909 it happened one day, baseball’s very first, unassisted triple play, in a game between the Boston Pilgrims and the Cleveland Blues; Since it never happened before it was front page news. Neal Ball, the Cleveland shortstop, caught a line-drive shot for out number one, but he wasn’t done; He touched the runner at second as he stepped off the bag, while the runner from first who failed to tag, he ran down in a race back to first base. Neal Ball then hit a home run, as Cleveland won the game six to one.
