Many of the non-scorers were pretty slow (including three pitchers), but Tony Womack, Eric Young, and Derek Jeter also failed to score in this situation.
In 2005, Jeremy Reed of the Mariners failed to score the winning run in the bottom of the ninth in this situation. He may have had an excuse though: Retrosheet lists the double play as 483. The Angels may have been in a 5 man infield for this situation. Reed later did score the winning run.

I see, but my runner on 3rd had above average speed. Jackie Bradley Jr.
