Looking at the list of people who have pulled this off, it's a pretty undistinguished group.

Neal Ball
Bill Wambsganss
George Burns
Ernie Padgett
Glenn Wright
Jimmy Cooney
Johnny Neun
Ron Hansen
Mickey Morandini
John Valentin
Randy Velarde
Rafael Furcal
Troy Tulowitzki

There's certainly a huge element of luck here, but the occasion does come up--runners on first and second, none out, running situation. You'd think that at least one high-caliber SS or 2B would have been able to do this over the last 107 years. (OK, maybe Furcal, but he has a long way to go.)
