No thanks, I got it myself.

For just the 14th time in Major League Baseball history, and only the 8th time in the 107-year American League, an unassisted triple play occurred. One player getting all 3 outs in one play. Amazing. Indians infielder Asdrubal Cabrera adds his name to history. The full list.

Indians / Blue Jays in the 2nd game of a doubleheader. Blue Jays on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Trying to start a rally, they run before contact is made. A line drive right into Cabrera's glove, then boom! Three outs. Chris was watching it live on DirecTV's Extra Innings package, and unfortunately the announcers for that telecast were Toronto's. Crazy.

The video from the Cleveland television telecast:


Now the Indians have had THREE players accomplish this all too rare feat; one of whom did it in the 1920 World Series!

Again, amazing.
