It’s not quite as cool as Troy Tulowitzki’s unassisted triple play last year or (cool name alert) Asdrubal Cabrera’s one-man show earlier this month, but the San Francisco Giants‘ 5-4-3 groundball triple play still rates high on the Snazzy Fielding Scale and gets a Barry Bonds-sized gold star. Jose Castillo, Ray Durham, and John Bowker had the honors.
The Giants smoked the infield during the eighth inning of their game against the San Diego Padres. They lost the game in the 13th (7-3), but aw heck . . . this is what made the newsreel highlights (21s):
I’m no Giants fan by any stretch, but triple plays are always fun to watch. Can’t argue with that!
Tim, agreed . . . I’m no Giants fan either, but cool is cool!
