Fact: Jack McCarthy threw out three runners at home plate in the same inning.
While playing for the Cubs in 1905, outfielder Jack McCarthy was possibly a little angry with his team's inabilty to get anyone out. So McCarthy decided to take matters into his own hands.
He threw out not one, not two but three runners trying to score. It is such an amazing feat that nobody has come close to matching it in the 108 years since, and unless the outs per inning expand to four, no one will ever have a shot at eclipsing him.
