Brag: Saw first live triple play today

[doubLe a tom]

liner to the shortstop actually, but yeah, pretty cool i guess. wasnt really a spectacular play or anything, just in the right place at the right time.

Wow. Why the hate? Only fifth time that has happened since 1927. Pretty big deal IMO.

Seriously...this is pretty awesome to see.

Double steal line drive to second...or something like that?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, runners on 1st and 2nd, full count, runners going on the pitch...sharply hit liner to Tulowitzki, who (I think) was moving towards 2nd...snagged it, stepped on the bag, and tagged the runner who'd been on first.

It was Chipper Jones who hit into it.

Wait...how is that not what I said?

[doubLe a tom]

you said line drive to second. it wasnt a line drive to second. it was a line drive to the shortstop, but other than that, you guessed correctly, which isnt hard cause thats about the only possible scenario for an unassisted triple play.

I believe 10/13 have been 2nd or SS, but yeah.

Whatev, it was so effin' cool, especially with the one drunk obnoxious Braves fan two rows back, and to my left -- he was dumbstruck.

Also had a foul ball go about three feet over my outstretched hand. Damn.

one time when i was like 6 i was at a baseball game and it was late in the game and it was kinda a blowout so a lot of people left and i moved up to the front row and someone hit a dribbler and it was rolling on the ground right towards me and some like 40 year old dude in the seat next to me reached over and grabbed the ball. what an [censored].

Brag: Went to the game Friday night and at one of the concessions the cashier randomly left and I just walked away with two beers...and I don't feel bad about it. $6/beer...bitch please.

I saw Furcal do the same thing at Busch in 2003. Pretty sick.

LOL, I just noticed the title is "first live triple play," so apparently OP plans on seeing more.
