Error found in T206 Book by Tom & Ellen Zappala

I have gotten in the habit of reading up on players right before or right after I purchase a card of them. I recently picked up a Jesse Tannehill card and found myself also checking out his brother, Lee.

One of my pet peeves is finding errors in Baseball books.

The Zappala T206 book claims that Lee Tannehill is the 'only shortstop in MLB history to convert 2 unassisted triple plays in the same game.'

Well, no one has ever done that.

There have been only 15 unassisted triple plays in the Majors and Lee Tannehill did not accomplish any of them.

Even worse, they quote this erroneous 'fact' on the back cover of their book.

Does anyone know any different? I am willing to do free editing and free research, citing all sources if anyone ever wants to produce a truly factual Baseball book.
