triple play (dict)

Triple PlayIn baseball, a triple play (denoted by TP) is the act of making three outs during the same continuous play. It is a very rare play, since there is usually only enough time for fielders to record a double play at best under most circumstances. The unassisted triple play is the least common type of triple play. On July 17, 1990, the Minnesota Twins became the first team in baseball history to turn two triple plays in the same game. They were rewarded for their efforts with a 1-0 loss. See also
