Scott SWhile looking at the back of the T-205 Neal Ball card, I noticed it states "in 1909, July 19 he accomplished the rare feat of making an unassisted triple play, one of the five recorded in base ball history."
My understanding (and as seen on the SABR link below) is that Ball was the first to record an unassisted triple play, and the next one didn't happen until 1920.

I'm wonderng if there was a rule change or anything else which might be why the T205 states there were five of them, or was this just a mistake?
