Good call, Doug. Another I’ve only seen on TV (and even then, I think only a replay).

How about a 5-4-3 triple play? The Louisville Bats turned one about two years ago and what beautiful combination of physical effort, efficiency of movement, and elegant coordination when performed by good infielders.

Dave: Sweet. I’ve only seen a steal of home on TV.

Eric: Yeah, that’s a fun one for sure. Something has to happen there…

Bases loaded, full count and two outs. Everyone’s moving, and it is crazy to see all that motion combined with the anticipation of the big pitch. My favorite play by far.

I would go with the straight steal of home. I saw one (on site!) at the Rogers Centre two years ago when Grady Sizemore hit a single, got to second base on a groundout, went to third on a wild pitch and then stole home during Guillermo Quiroz’s eighteenth game in the majors, but first of the season.
McGowan never saw the guy and was SO late throwing the ball home…..
