Wow.

I've probably played out 2 to 3 thousand games of OOTP since v4, and have never, ever seen a triple play. Had it not been for a few people here saying they'd seen them, I would have doubted they were even in the game.

And then, just now I was playing out a game in my solo league. It was a blowout, so I simmed ahead an inning at a time until the ninth. It was still a 10-3 game, but my practice is to always play out the ninth of such games so I don't miss anything good. Well, this time the first two hitters singled - one up the middle and one to right. Then the third guy up hit a liner which the first baseman speared, and I got "the runners are WAY too far off the base.... could be a triple play...."

Sure enough, it was - the first triple play I've ever seen in OOTP. Woo hoo!
