| 13th May, 2008 - 10:28 am | ESPN - Cleveland second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in Major League Baseball history on Monday night in the team's 3-0 loss to Toronto, according to The Associated Press.
Cabrera made a diving catch of a line drive off the bat of Lyle Overbay, touched second base, and then quickly tagged Marco Scutaro to complete the feat in the fifth inning.
"I was trying to speed up the game," Overbay joked. "I get to go down in history. They can't take that away from me."
"He flipped it into the stands and right as he did cried out, 'Oh, no!'" first-base Coach Luis Rivera said.
"I knew it was pretty special," Cabrera said.
Troy Tulowitzki turned the last unassisted triple play for the Rockies on April 29, 2007. [READ] |
