    5-4-3 triple plays are the prettiest.
  • You're at bat. It's the ninth inning, your team has the BASES LOADED with NO OUTS and your team is down one to nothing, then SUDDENLY...

    The unassisted triple play to end a game just might be the craziest play in baseball.

    Two things I noticed: 1) Whenever the visiting team pulls off a triple play, the fans for the home team still give them a good ovation. That's good sportsmanship. 2) The one at 4:52 is still my favourite ever.

    As an Aussie, this is why I look up baseball highlights. When third catches the hit and sends it to second, then first, and gets the trip in the space of < 2 seconds. That's straight up athleticism. These sort of compilations are addictive
  • I don't even watch baseball, but I gotta say this is real satisfying to watch. It's like watching knockout punches in boxing when you don't follow boxing; a true fan may know every single thing going on, but even your everyday average viewer can understand when some spectacular feats of athleticism are on display.

    6:46-7:00 i played baseball all my life. But the best moment i ever had playing was when i did almost this exactly assisted triple play while in prison with some inmates. I caught, tagged the 2nd base runner between 2nd and 3rd, before throwing to first and getting the 1st runner out when he saw i caught it and ran back. Not as good, but holy crap did it feel great. Especially while in hard times and trying to find something to live for.

    I love the fact that at least one of these “trips” needs both instant replay and slo-mo to be scored correctly. It really makes you appreciate the concentration of the defenders involved!

    Asdrubal's unassisted triple play never gets old. Love how the runners just stand there confused about what just happened, and I don't blame them, catches like that are near impossible to react to.

    5:30 ... you really can appreciate ALL the great teamwork on this play from all 9 positions
  • @evanparker
    watching all these back to back you really get a feeling for the amount of time the guys have to turn the ball over, it's so impossibly minuscule. seeing all of them pull it off really can only put a big smile on your face.

    When I was a child my brothers played little league baseball. One of the neighbor boys, Eldon, played first base. One day the opposing team had a runner on first and second. Eldon caught a line drive off the batter, stepped on first to get the runner on first, then threw to the second baseman where he got the runner on second. That was the only triple play executed by that team at that time.
  • Bravo to the Padres fans for appreciating quality baseball from the visiting Phillies, and all crowds who do the same.
