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):

Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera of the Cleveland Indians turned an unassisted triple play—only the 14th in MLB history.  (Curious about lucky #13? That was Troy Tulowitzki of the Colorado Rockies last year).
Before we show you the video from the other day, we want to note two things.
1. “Asdrubal” is one of the coolest first names ev-ah, and J.K. Rowling is probably going to use it in a book some day.
2. We find it amusing that Cabrera is Johnny-on-the-spot enough to make an unassisted triple play but not swift enough to remember to keep the ball.
