The runners were on the move with the pitch, which resulted in a liner to second base off the bat of Shane Spencer, but the slight variation in this case is that Velarde tagged the runner who left first base before stepping on second for the trifecta. Even after their 4-2 win in the series opener on July 29, with the go-ahead run coming on shortstop Ron Hansens seventh inning home run off the left-field foul pole screen,2 the perpetual bottom-dwelling Senators were 36-62, 25 games behind the AL-leading Detroit Tigers.

Hansens play added another chapter to Clevelands odds-defying history with the games rarest occurrence. The unassisted triple play is more rare than a pitcher's perfect game, having occurred only 15 times in MLB history. Waner lined a ball up the middle, but with Cooney shading that way while holding on the runner at second, he snared it, stepped on second and tagged the runner coming from first, who apparently thought the ball hadn't been caught in the air because he slid right into Cooney's tag. A normal triple play, in which several players take part, is already quite rare and very few happen, but an unassisted becomes a rarity. In general, the "next base" is usually the same base that the infielder stepped on to record the second out, and the last runner is tagged before he can return to the previous base.

Mickey Morandini, Phillies second baseman, Sept. 20, 1992, sixth inningBy this point you probably know the situation -- first and second, nobody out.
