Love this. It's one of those plays that makes perfect sense after the fact; but rarely if ever does it happen in real life. For sure the rare plays enrich the experience, when you play out lots of games. Just when you think you have seen everything.....

I once witnessed an around-the-horn triple play in an [IRL] AAA game. Stunning. Hard ground ball to a 3B playing on the line. He fields at the bag and fires to 2B and then onto 1B well ahead of a slowish batter. None of the plays at the bases were even close. It all looked routine. But those stars don't align that way very often. [I've also seen a no-hitter in MLB, but the ground ball triple play may be more rare, statistically.]
