Thanks for the facts, RonCo.

I am only guestimating… no facts... I play out the last 3-4 innings of my games so I can control relief pitchers, pinchhitters and defensive subs... and I don't remember having never seen a runner thrown out at second trying to stretch a single... but it's a small sample of games.
I am really watching for it to happen now.

Though an inside-the-park homer is very rare... I will be watching to see if anyone ever gets thrown out at home stretching a triple.

I often see players trying to stretch a double to a triple thrown out at third... I think this is fairly accurate... an outfielder has more time to throw to third than second base and will throw out more runners.
