O/T: Mets Game Ends Like No Other- Ever!
So Mets are trailing 9-7 in the bottom of the 9th inning, and have men on first and second nobody out. Manuel starts the runners and the batter lines out into an unassisted triple play to end the game!!
Is that a first time in baseball history that a game ended on an unassisted triple play? Last edited by barrysloate; 08-23-2009 at 02:18 PM.

As a long standing Mets fan, I did not know whether to laugh or cry at that ending. It certainly was one for the books.

WINS radio said a game ended on an unassisted triple play in 1927. So the last time was 82 years ago.

Johnny Neun was the batter for the 1927 Tigers.

Wasn't Neun the guy who made the unassisted triple play?

Detroit Tigers first baseman Johnny Neun also accomplished the feat on May 31, 1927, completing a 1-0 victory over Cleveland, according to STATS LLC.

Does anyone have any ideas why four of the 15 unassisted triple plays have occurred in the 2000's and six happened in the 1920's? Is it just a statistical fluke?
I was watching the game today and couldn't believe what I had just seen. I bet Chase Utley is wishing he would have started today! Last edited by jeffmohler; 08-23-2009 at 05:20 PM.
