Triple This

[gonzai]

The other day, http://gonzai55.livejournal.com/119598.html . Well, a friend has since pointed out to me that I saw one other triple play. And I can't imagine how I forgot that one, because it was bizarre.

How bizarre? Well, I'll give you the official scoring on this triple play, and let you all theorize as to how the heck this went down. I'll give the answer in a couple days.

This game happened in the late 90s, in Bowie, between the Baysox and the New Britain Rock Cats (they may have been the Hardware City Rock Cats at the time, but based in New Britain regardless.) Bowie turned an 8-2 triple play against the Rock Cats. That is, centerfield to catcher. That's it. That's all. Ponder as you wish.

Ah, like the old joke about the Brooklyn Dodgers having three guys on base and the fan asking which one? Very cool, would have loved to have seen it. Smart catcher, good for him. Thanks for writing it out for me.

We should go to a game sometime. I used to go to the Baysox and Keys all the time but it's been years.

Sounds like a plan. They're both out of town next weekend (they're *always* home Shore Leave week, which drives me nuts) but both home the week after. I'll e-mail you after we both recover from Shore Leave.

My July is crazy so it might have to be August. I'm gone the next three weeks, Pros con and then two weekends of concerts but I hope we can find a time after that. Good to see you at Shoreleave, even if it was only in passing.
