I did not know unassisted triple plays were quite that rare in MLB.
I am reminded of my son's unassisted quadruple play (if such a thing were possible) in Little League. Bases loaded, no outs, playing second base caught line drive, stepped on second, tagged runner coming down from first, ran across diamond to double up runner going home from third.
I guess I just don't know much about Little League rules. I would have thought that after the third out, play ended. Do they allow four outs in LL baseball? That's news to me, but I confess that I don't recall ever seeing a LL game.

No, that is why I said the fourth out was impossible/meaningless.. but the kid was thinking :P
I noticed that two of the unassisted triple plays were made by the first baseman. It takes some really bad base-running for a first baseman to make and unassisted triple play.
Other MLB rarities...Chan Ho Park gave up two grand slams in the same inning...both to Fernando Tatis! :shock: Bill Mueller hit two grand slams in one game...from both sides of the plate.
